Your Legacy and Concordia: Partnering for Tomorrow
Establishing a planned gift with Concordia is a decision to share of yourself, to demonstrate your values, and to believe in the power of generosity.
Today, as you plan to leave your legacy, we invite you to explore the impact you can make at Concordia University Chicago. With your planned gift, the University will be pleased to welcome you into the Addison Society.
