The Patience Lauriat Society is an honorary association of individuals whose planned gifts have already been received or will someday accrue to The Cambridge School of Weston. Anyone who notifies CSW that the school is named as the beneficiary of a gift through his or her estate, or through a planned gift during his or her lifetime, is automatically enrolled as a member of the Society.
The Society is named after Patience Lauriat '46, who, after providing for members of her family, left the remainder of her estate to CSW to create an unrestricted endowment fund.
The Patience Lauriat Society gratefully acknowledges benefactors whose estate gifts to the school show that the future of CSW was close to their hearts.
Members of the Patience Lauriat Society receive certain benefits, which currently include:
- Recognition in publications, including the Report on Philanthropy
- Invitation to an annual event (for members who have made life-income gifts)
- Reports on the investment performance of gifts to CSW and highlights of the gift planning program
