There are many ways to pass along a distinctive Sarah Lawrence education to future generations of talented, creative students—and a number of reasons to act today. If it is time to write or revise your will or living trust, please consider naming Sarah Lawrence College as a beneficiary. You will create a powerful legacy at a place that has meant so much to you, and you can capitalize on financial benefits as well.
