The 1917 Society honors alumni, families and friends who include Bentley University in their estate or financial plans.  Membership reflects your commitment to sustaining Bentley’s excellence for future generations.  

1917 Society members are recognized at events, receive insider updates and join a community of Falcons who share a long-term vision for Bentley’s success.  

Sharing your gift intention — whether a bequest, beneficiary designation or life-income gift — allows Bentley to thank you today and plan responsibly for tomorrow.  

Also referred to as gift planning or legacy giving — offers a powerful way to support Bentley while also achieving your personal and financial goals. These gifts, made during your lifetime or through your estate, can provide meaningful benefits for you and your loved ones while reflecting your values and philanthropic priorities.
