The Kelsey Society, named for the University of Maine at Farmington’s first president, Ambrose Kelsey, was established in 1999 to recognize and honor alumni and friends who make planned/deferred gifts. Forms of deferred gifts are naming UMF in their wills, or as an annuitant or remainderman of a charitable gift, or as insurance beneficiaries or owners of insurance policies. The donor is invited to become a member of the Society and will be honored with his/her name inscribed on an impressive plaque prominently displayed on a wall in Merrill Hall, and will also receive a lapel pin.
Regarding wills and bequests and other deferred gifts, UMF’s goal is to recognize donors in their lifetimes rather than posthumously. If you inform us that you have taken one of the steps noted above to establish a deferred or planned gift, you will automatically be invited to become a member of this prestigious group of donors, some of who are listed below:
