Did you know that you can include Woodstock School in Your Financial Planning?

Become A Lyre Tree Society Member

The Lyre Tree Society is named after the beloved tree, now gone, that overlooked the Doon Valley on the Woodstock School campus. Membership in the Lyre Tree Society is open to anyone who simply notifies us (Woodstock School, Friends of Woodstock School, or Canadian Friends of Woodstock School) that they’ve taken formal steps to support us through their estate or gift planning and can provide administrative information about their plans. Your membership in the Lyre Tree Society will inspire your fellow alumni and friends to take steps to ensure this benefit to Woodstock School now and in the future.

Planned Giving

Planned Giving, also referred to as gift planning, is a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables philanthropic individuals or donors to make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. Common planned gifts include Charitable Gift Annuities and Trusts, bequests, gifts of retirement plans, gifts of life insurance policies, and more. Please consult your attorney or financial advisor for further details on these gift types.

Woodstock School, Friends of Woodstock School, and Canadian Friends of Woodstock School, including their staff, representatives, and board members, do not offer legal or financial advice. We strongly urge prospective donors to consult with their attorneys, financial advisors, estate planning professionals, accountants, or other appropriate professionals before making any material decisions based on information we provide through our website, printed materials, or other written or verbal sources.
