What Will Your Legacy Be?
A single gift in 1873 from our founding benefactor, Johns Hopkins, inspired a revolution in American medicine. The Johns Hopkins Legacy Society honors Mr. Hopkins and welcomes those who make their own legacy gifts to secure the financial future of Johns Hopkins Medicine. There are many ways to become a member: Include Johns Hopkins in your estate plan, designate us as beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy, or give in a way that also provides income to you. To learn more about these and other creative ways to give, visit rising.jhu.edu/giving, or contact the Johns Hopkins Office of Gift Planning at 410-516-7954/800-548-1268 or [email protected].
