The Calkins Society: Securing Hofstra’s Future
The Calkins Society honors alumni and friends who support Hofstra’s future by including the university in their estate plans. Your bequest or deferred gift helps ensure Hofstra’s legacy, with potential estate tax benefits for you. To join, please inform the Advancement Office so we can recognize your thoughtful generosity.
Legal Considerations
For your security, we recommend consulting a qualified lawyer to draft your will and consider flexible terms for Hofstra’s use of your gift.
