Planned Giving

A Legacy to Onaway

We invite you to join the Campfire Rock Society – a growing group of individuals who are making decisions now to protect the future of Onaway. You don't need to wait until retirement to make this decision. Together, our future giving will ensure Onaway stays on stable ground for the next generations.

There are many ways of supporting Onaway through a planned gift such as a simple bequest, or donating a portion of your assets from your qualified retirement plan, like your IRA or 401(k), or giving a portion of your life insurance policy that is no longer needed for its original purpose. In many cases, you don't need to change your will or hire a lawyer to simply change your beneficiary designation. For some people, you may be able to give a larger gift in this way than you would otherwise, gaining a reduction in the taxes imposed on your estate and leaving more for your heirs.
 

We would be happy to discuss any of these options with you, as well as any special requests you may have for the eventual use of your gift. We would also appreciate the opportunity to thank you and send you a special gift designed for our Campfire Rock Society members. Click here to download and print a Bequest Intention Form, or call us at 610-525-0676, and we will be happy to send you one.
 

Your bequest will help provide future generations of girls with the same experiences that inspired your Onaway memories: living in cozy cabins on the Onaway hillside, scaling the summits of the White Mountains, sharing a thought with friends in a tent or in a counselor’s cabin at Privilege, feeling an inner strength take root in the stillness of Chapel, singing on Campfire Rock and rising together to form evening circle at “the end of a perfect day.”
 

Your legacy gift is truly “a promise, a vow not to forget.”
