1879 Planned Giving Society
What will your legacy be?
The 1879 Planned Giving Society, named in honor of the year we were founded by Anna Baright Curry and Samuel Silas Curry, invites you to join us by including Curry College in your estate plans. Legacy gifts are a meaningful way to honor the indelible impact Curry had on your life. The 1879 Planned Giving Society recognizes our alumni, family and friends, who want to mark the college’s long-standing history and equally importantly, its bright future through their philanthropic legacy commitments.
Your planned gifts have an enormous impact on our students and offer potential financial and tax benefits to you and your family, such as reduced capital gains and estate taxes. There are many ways to include Curry in your estate plans. We are here to help determine whether a traditional bequest, IRA charitable rollover, life insurance beneficiary designation, real estate, or securities transfer may be the best option for you and your family.
When you join the 1879 Planned Giving Society, you ensure the continued mission of the College and allow us to celebrate your lifetime of support.

Meet 1879 Planned Giving Society Members:
Professor Jeffrey DiIuglio, M.Ed. ’88
“Giving back to places that helped make your career is very important...I hope the gift will be used to help the College make a bigger imprint in the Boston area. Curry is a jewel that everyone should know about. I know the gift will be invested well.”
Meet Professor DiIuglio
Linda and Matthew Wiernusz P'23
Because of the support Curry College has provided to their daughter Sophia, the Wiernusz family has joined the 1879 Planned Giving Society, making Curry a beneficiary of their estate plans. The gift will be earmarked specifically for PAL so that students like Sophia can continue to benefit from the resources that have been so instrumental to her success.
