The 1908 Heritage Society recognizes those who have made a commitment to Cameron University through a planned gift. In 1908, just a year after statehood, our school was established by the Oklahoma Legislature as the Cameron State School of Agriculture. The heritage society name honors this milestone in Oklahoma history. Any donor who voices their intent to leave a planned gift to Cameron University is considered a member of the 1908 Heritage Society.
Over the years planned gifts have helped Cameron University to grow and expand opportunities for learning. They have helped establish numerous endowed scholarships and faculty positions. Estate gifts provide donors with a variety of flexible financial options that not only benefit the university's mission, but also reduce costly estate taxes.
Becoming a Member
The Cameron University Foundation honors every planned gift donor with membership in the 1908 Heritage Society. You will become a member as soon as you make us aware of your intentions.
As a 1908 Heritage Society member, you will receive a letter of appreciation, a Cameron University lapel pin and your name will be added to our honor roll of members, allowing for your gift to be recognized publicly, unless you prefer to give anonymously. You will also receive newsletters and updates regarding planned giving issues and tax information.
The members of the 1908 Heritage Society realize the future success of Cameron University depends on the legacy and commitment made today. Society members are living testimonials of the importance of caring for the future - now.
