Heritage Society
In 1999, the Foundation established the ASHRAE Foundation Heritage Society as a means to recognize those individuals who have included ASHRAE in their estate plan via a bequest, charitable remainder trust, charitable gift annuity or other form of planned gift.
A planned gift is often the most effective opportunity to ensure a legacy with ASHRAE. They also provide substantial Federal tax deductions, and certain vehicles can provide a lifetime income to you and your loved ones.
If you have already included ASHRAE in your estate plan, please let us know so that we can formally recognize your important commitment through induction into the Society. Likewise, if you are curious about the various estate planning options available through ASHRAE Foundation, please call Margaret Smith at
(678)539-1201 or email us at foundation@ashrae.org for more information.
