The Mizpah Society was established to recognize alumni and friends who give to Southwestern through their estate plans, also known as planned giving.  Members of the Mizpah Society have included Southwestern Adventist University as a beneficiary of one of the following: bequests from wills, charitable remainder trusts (revocable and irrevocable), gift annuities, gifts of property, CDs, or insurance policies.  While your gift lends support to students and programs at Southwestern, it also provides benefits to you such as tax deductions, income for life, reduced costs to your family, and avoidance of probate.
