Inspired by Baruch

Elizabeth Werley

“I am not an alumna of Baruch but rather an admirer of the College. At the time I decided to make my planned gift to the College, I was the incoming president of the Financial Women’s Association, which had just started a college-mentoring program at Baruch. I met so many brilliant young students and so thoroughly enjoyed the mentoring experience that I soon realized that the phrase ‘Baruch is the future of America’ was so very true. I decided that whatever I could do for the students of Baruch to make them successful would be ‘something good for them, for Baruch, for New York City and for America.’”

Deferring Your Payments Increases the Impact

“Now, as the executive director of The Transition Network, a women’s non-profit counseling organization, I realized the power of making a creative gift. A Deferred Charitable Gift Annuity puts off my payments until I reach retirement age and significantly increases the annuity payments I will receive. What could be better? Making a gift that provides enhanced payments for my lifetime while helping these young people of Baruch that I so admire.”
