Leave your legacy
There will come a time in all our lives when we consider how we want to leave our legacy. Your life’s accomplishments are important to celebrate and honor. A charitable gift to Alpha Phi Delta Foundation is such a way to cement your legacy. Charitable gifts, including long-range estate and financial planning, can be a great way for you to provide support for Alpha Phi Delta. It is possible to “Leave a Legacy” while potentially minimizing taxes and settlement costs and conserving more of your estate for loved ones.
What are the easiest ways to leave my legacy?
There are many ways to make an estate bequest. Here are two very straightforward types of giving:
What should I do first?
Please contact Bro. John Hadgkiss, Beta Rho ’66, omega@apdfoundation.org if you’d like to step through your options. Or simply inform John of the bequest once it’s made. All we need is your written verification. If you have already included Alpha Phi Delta Foundation in your estate plan, please let us know so that we can award you the Omega Society pin.

Why is it important to consider an estate plan?
An estate plan gift is a powerful tool that can provide a way for you to help secure your own financial future and the financial future of Alpha Phi Delta. It can help you make larger gifts than you ever dreamed possible. Some estate plan gifts can provide you with income for life.
When is the best time of my life to join the Omega Society?
Now! Let us talk to you about making a planned gift to support Alpha Phi Delta and becoming a life-long partner in advancing academic excellence while making a difference in the lives of our students. None of us know when our time runs out. That means the time to do this is now.
Each of the deferred giving types is closely regulated by law and requires special arrangements and tax treatment. Alpha Phi Delta Foundation, Inc. can work with you and your attorney to ensure your wishes are documented correctly.
