Elm Tree Society

The Elm Tree Society was established in honor of Ellen Browning Scripps and the visionary gift that created Scripps College in 1926. Today's Elm Tree Society recognizes individuals and couples who have made provisions for Scripps College in their estate plans. The College applauds your dedication to this legacy, to the creating and continuation of the future education and growth of students dedicated to the same principles and values of our founder.

The donors have provided for the College in a variety of ways through a variety of charitable gifting vehicles. Many estate gifts are designated to support internships, scholarships, campus enhancement and preservation, student and faculty research, and social justice initiatives. Many bequests also provide much-needed support for the overall health of Scripps College.

Each legacy gift is unique and supports the fundamental importance of Scripps in the lives of these alumnae and friends. Are you planning your philanthropic future now? Contact the Office of Gift Planning so we can welcome you into this special group of donors.

Thank you to each of member of the Elm Tree Society.
