Giving Societies

Maryville College appreciates every gift.  Giving societies allow MC the opportunity to recognize the generosity of its many supporters.

Society of 1819

The Society of 1819 recalls the year Maryville College was founded, and serves to recognize those who have included the College in their estate and financial plans. Gifts may include gifts by will, charitable trusts, revocable living trusts, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder or charitable lead trusts, retained life estates, or life insurance and retirement funds. Names of members are published annually in the President’s Report.  Members also receive a certificate of appreciation and invitations to annual gatherings.
