Legacy Society
Legacy Society of Historic Yellow Springs was established to honor individuals who designate charitable gifts to HYS through their estates.
We invite you to join with others who made a commitment to the future of HYS through planned giving.
To become a member is simple. Include Historic Yellow Springs as a beneficiary of your estate in whichever manner you choose, and notify us of your commitment.
Your estate plan can remain confidential, and you retain the right to amend your estate plans at any time.
Through your membership in the Legacy Society, your gift and your generosity will be acknowledged today, and you can enjoy the company and fellowship of other forward-thinking members.
