The Dilworth Society

The Dilworth Society was established during the College’s 125th year to recognize dedicated alumnae and friends who wish to remember Chatham University in their estate planning. These plans, such as bequests, trusts or life income gifts, provide a legacy that benefits both Chatham and the donor. The Society is named for Joseph Dilworth, one of the College’s founders and Board of Trustees member, whose bequest for $10,000 established the building fund for the original Dilworth Hall. Documentation of a donor’s intention to make a gift of this type to Chatham automatically qualifies for membership in the Dilworth Society. If you are remembering Chatham in your estate planning, you may formalize your membership by completing the attached form. In doing so, you will receive a specially designed pin that features The Dilworth Society logo. You also will receive The Dilworth Planner, Chatham’s planned giving newsletter, and will be listed as a member of the Society in College publications.
