Do you want to maintain your current standard of living while keeping your assets and supporting Amherst College? Consider making a bequest to the College in your will. 

Don’t need a life insurance policy that you took out when your family was young? You can designate Amherst College as your beneficiary. 

Do you need more income? Consider establishing a charitable gift annuity.

However you fit the College into your life plan, we appreciate it, and you will be invited to become a member of the Johnson Chapel Associates so that we can recognize your generosity.
