Heritage Society
The Heritage Society, formed in 1991, recognizes members of our school community who have informed University School of Milwaukee of their future support through a planned gift. Members of the Heritage Society have thoughtfully designated USM as a recipient of a gift in their wills or living trusts, as a beneficiary of a retirement fund or life insurance policy, or as the beneficiary of another type of planned gift.
Members of our Heritage Society have the satisfaction of knowing their gifts will help perpetuate the academic excellence that is the long tradition of USM and its predecessor schools – Milwaukee Country Day School, Milwaukee Downer Seminary, and Milwaukee University School. Through their caring and generous support, they help provide future USM students with an education that is truly “The Experience for a Lifetime.” Heritage Society members, unless they request anonymity, are recognized in the USM Annual Report of Giving and other school publications. All members also receive special invitations to school events and activities.
We are deeply grateful to our alumni, parents, parents of alumni, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends who have already included our school in their estate plans. If you have designated USM as such a beneficiary, but have not yet joined the Heritage Society, we invite you to become a member. Please contact the Advancement office to learn more about planned giving and the Heritage Society.
