The 1905 Society

Members of the 1905 Society play an integral role in securing Fordham Law’s future through intended bequests and life income gifts. Named for the year the Law School was founded, the Society helps provide a strong foundation for the continued growth of Fordham Law.

An Invitation to Join the Fordham Law 1905 Society

Members of the Fordham Law 1905 Society have expressed their commitment to Fordham Law School through a very special and important form of financial support.

These donors have named Fordham Law School as the ultimate beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include a bequest and/or charitable income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts, or gifts of life insurance.

Once you complete your estate plans, please let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in the Fordham Law 1905 Society.

Membership Benefits

Members of the 1905 Society occupy a unique status at both Fordham Law and Fordham University. Your membership involves no dues or obligations, but it does allow us to thank you and recognize you for the plans you have made, and it may inspire generosity in others.

Benefits of membership include invitations to the annual 1905 Society Luncheon with the Dean and special events. Members are also recognized in the Law School's Annual Dean’s Report and the University's Annual President's Report.

The most important benefit you will receive from joining the Fordham Law 1905 Society is the satisfaction derived from making a lasting contribution to the long-term success of Fordham Law.
