The Grasshopper Society

The Grasshopper Society recognizes the generosity and foresight of loyal alumni and friends in the School’s planned giving program — those who, for example, have remembered Gilman in their will or revocable trust, made the School a beneficiary of their IRA or other retirement plan, established a charitable trust, or set up a charitable gift annuity.

To commemorate the completion in 1910 of Gilman’s new Roland Park campus, a grasshopper weathervane, symbolic of freedom and financial success, was chosen to adorn the bell tower of what is now Carey Hall. Echoing the weathervane’s symbolism, the Grasshopper Society honors donors whose deferred gifts ensure the future vitality of the School.

The Grasshopper Society welcomes all planned gifts, regardless of size or purpose. Society members receive special acknowledgment and invitations to special events.

We are deeply grateful for their devotion to Gilman.

Where there is a will… There is a way to provide for Gilman.

REPORT ON GIVING 2021-2022 106

By naming Gilman as a beneficiary in your will, revocable trust, or retirement plan, you can reduce your estate taxes and leave your current financial planning uninterrupted.

BEQUESTS ARE …

SIMPLE. Just include a bequest provision in your will or add a codicil to an existing will.

REVOCABLE. If your circumstances change, you can easily revise your will.

FLEXIBLE. You can give almost any kind of asset.

DEDUCTIBLE. Although you cannot take a current income tax deduction, bequests are deductible for federal estate tax purposes when your estate is settled.
