Become part of Conway’s Legacy Circle and help to ensure the future of the school’s work for generations to come.
Today we are facing unprecedented social and environmental challenges—as well as unprecedented opportunities. Conway alums are uniquely able to meet these challenges and opportunities in the communities in which they choose to live and work.
The Legacy Circle is a group of forward-thinking donors who have chosen to care for Conway through a planned gift, ensuring the long-term vision of the school. By joining the Legacy Circle, you demonstrate your commitment to a future shaped by Conway-trained ecological design leaders.
The Conway Legacy Circle recognizes and honors alums and friends who have made bequests or life income gifts to the Conway School. Your gift can be unrestricted, or can be directed towards the endowment fund, scholarships, Community Projects, or more.
For further information, please contact the Development Office at development@csld.edu.
