An Invitation to Join Devotie Heritage Society

Members of Devotie Heritage Society have expressed their commitment to Samford University through a very special and important form of financial support.

These donors have named Samford as the ultimate beneficiary of a planned gift, such as a bequest, charitable gift annuity, charitable trust, or gift of retirement plan or life insurance.

Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our member profile form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in Devotie Heritage Society.
