Planned Giving

Your legacy gift helps shape the next generation of ethical, empathetic leaders our world needs most.

Branson has always prepared students not just for college, but for life – for thinking deeply, leading ethically, and engaging the world with curiosity and courage.  

When you make Branson part of your legacy by joining the Blue Cedar Society, you help ensure these values live on. You join a circle of donors whose vision and generosity shape the future in lasting and meaningful ways. 

This is a historic moment. Branson is working toward 100 new Blue Cedar members and $15 million in planned giving commitments as part of our current campaign. Your gift – no matter the size – helps us get there. 

"Branson changed the course of my life, thanks to the generosity of Pancho Greene — he believed in me before I believed in myself. Branson shaped my character in a way that will remain with me forever.  Including a gift directed towards scholarships in my plans is a way of saying thank you — and of opening the same door for future students. I hope others will join me in paying forward the opportunities we were given. " – Jaime Burnes '91Legacy giving, through a planned gift, allows anyone to make a lasting impact on the causes they care about most.  By including a gift to Branson in a will, trust, or estate plan, you help to ensure our mission continues to thrive for generations to come. Planned gifts provide meaningful support for the future, often with significant tax benefits for the donor and their heirs, while creating a personal legacy of generosity that endures beyond a lifetime.
