The Murray Society Ever since Lincoln’s foundation, bequests have played a vital role in shaping and sustaining its development. Although inspired by an array of motivations, they have enabled members and friends of the College to unite in demonstrating their support for its historic goals. Whether great or small, they have enhanced the College community, providing eloquent testimony to its traditions while helping to chart its future. Legacy gifts not only benefit the College but may also benefit the donor if given efficiently. Making a provision for Lincoln in your estate plans will not affect your current financial situation but will provide for a significant gift in the future. A charitable bequest is deductible for federal estate purposes and there is no limit on the amount of deduction. In addition, bequests are not generally subject to state inheritance or estate taxes. Lincoln has created the Murray Society, named in honour of Keith Murray, who was Rector of Lincoln from 1944 to 1953, and before that Bursar and Fellow of the College, to thank alumni and friends who leave a legacy to the College. Murray Society members are invited to exclusive events including the annual Murray Day luncheon and talk in College which is an opportunity to meet current Fellows and other alumni. They also receive the The Murray Society newsletter, access to informal legal and practical advice about bequests and a Murray Society tie and/or scarf in Lincoln colours. If you would like more information regarding the Murray Society please contact Susan Harrison, Development Director at susan.harrison@lincoln.ox.ac.uk or +44 1865 279838. If you are making your gift from the US, please contact Jane Mitchell, Deputy Development Director at jane.mitchell@lincoln.ox.ac.uk or +44 1865 616843. Many thanks for your consideration.
