Why Give?

Our mission is to empower our students to meet the demands and challenges of today’s rapidly changing and morally complex world. We guide our students to become self-reliant, intellectually mature, and morally responsible women of faith, vision, and purpose.

Across two centuries, our alumnae and supporters have left legacy gifts that advance Visitation in countless ways— from unrestricted support for the whole of our mission to dedicated funds that sustain key programs, scholarships, and endowed positions in perpetuity.

A gift plan can provide you substantial tax benefits, especially when you give stock or real estate. Depending on your situation, you may save income taxes, capital gains taxes, probate expenses, and estate taxes.

The 1799 Society recognizes and honors donors who have included Georgetown Visitation in their financial and/or estate plans. Visitation welcomes planned gifts in the form of Bequests, Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts, as well as various assets like stocks, retirement assets, life insurance, and more.
