Become Partners through Gift Planning by Joining the Beinecke Society

The Yale School of Management exists in large measure due to the outstanding generosity of the Beinecke family. The school’s origins date to the 1960s, when William S. Beinecke ’36 B.A., ’86 LLDH served on a committee that determined that Yale should create a graduate school focused on the teaching of business and management. A bequest from William Beinecke’s father, Frederick W. Beinecke 1909s, was the basis for the establishment of the school.

Austin Ligon
The Power of Planned Gifts at Yale SOM

“Yale SOM was a transformational experience for me, opening up opportunities I would never have found otherwise, and I have always felt an obligation to give back. I am a big fan of planned giving to world class universities like Yale—they have the endowment management talent and skills, the very long term vision, and a truly worthy ongoing mission. When the chance arose to combine my estate planning with a gift honoring Prof. Art Swersey, I immediately jumped at it. The thinking process he helped me develop was fundamental to everything I have done in the business and civic world.”  —Austin Ligon ‘80
