Every day, we write part of our story—a story that will become a legacy that is passed down to the next generation. If an important part of your life’s story is your relationship with Mount St. Mary’s University, then there is no better way to honor that relationship than to create a lasting legacy of generosity that will shape the future of the Mount for generations to come.

Members of the 1808 Legacy Society (formerly known as the Chinquapin Society) have included Mount St. Mary’s in their estate plans. In recognition of this commitment, 1808 Legacy Society members receive:

Satisfaction in knowing that they are making a lasting difference at their beloved mountain home
A special certificate, which can be proudly displayed at home or at the office
A custom-designed lapel pin
Special recognition at University events and listing in the Honor Roll of Donors
