Named for the year that the Trust was founded, the 1915 Society is made up of those local philanthropists who choose to include the Trust in their estate plan. The Trust is truly grateful to all these generous donors who help secure our region’s future.

Members are honored with invitations to special events, information seminars and the 1915 Society luncheon.

Becoming a member of this select group is as easy as notifying us of your intentions—no pledge is required. If you are looking for guidance in thinking about your estate plans, our gift planning experts are happy to assist you.
