  • Legacy Giving

    Legacy giving is a way to give back to Oakwood for the ways the school has touched your life. Arranging for a lasting gift of this kind, can be a simple and quick process. If you have a will or trust, consider adding the School as a beneficiary. An additional consideration is to include Oakwood as a beneficiary on your IRA or other retirement account. Learn more about joining Oakwood’s legacy society, the Acorn Society, and your options at https://oakwoodschool.planmygift.org/.
