Ways to Give

Heritage Society

Bethany Lutheran College recognizes those businesses, families, and individuals who have supported the college over the years by an invitation to join the Heritage Society.

Honoring Generosity That Preserves Bethany’s Legacy

This invitation is extended to anyone who has remembered Bethany as a beneficiary of their will, as a primary beneficiary of life insurance, who have remembered Bethany with an annuity or other type of planned gift, or who has given $15,000 or more to the college in their lifetime.

While many members of the Heritage Society are Bethany alumni, many are also friends of the institution who have grown to appreciate what the college stands for and the diligence with which the school passes on its priceless heritage.

Heritage Society members desire to pass on to the next generation something of lasting value — that value being the college’s spiritual dimension of the “One Thing Needful.”
