As The Gillen Brewer School builds a strong future, we understand the importance of bequests and deferred gifts in fostering the school's long-term health and vitality. We also understand the importance of working with our generous donors in achieving their charitable goals. Through gift planning, donors can give more than would otherwise be possible, enjoy additional tax benefits, and in some cases additional income for life. Therefore, we are available and eager to speak with you and your advisor about a planned gift to The Gillen Brewer School.

Individuals who are considering a long-term gift to The Gillen Brewer School may want to include the organization in their estate planning through bequests or life insurance.
