The Albert Einstein Legacy Society
In 1953, Einstein was founded as the only medical institution upon which Albert Einstein bestowed the honor of his name, welcoming students of all creeds and races. This created one of his many lasting legacies. Albert Einstein College of Medicine is a premier, research-intensive medical school dedicated to leading biomedical investigation and the development of ethical and compassionate physicians and scientists. To honor the College's history and accomplishments, we have established The Albert Einstein Legacy Society to recognize those individuals—friends, alumni, faculty, and staff—who wish to advance the College of Medicine's mission through a legacy gift in their estate plans.
Legacy gifts are a meaningful way to honor Einstein's history of medical education and research—and help ensure its future prosperity for our students and scientists. Additionally, planned gifts can offer potential financial and tax benefits to you and your family. There are several avenues to benefit Einstein in your estate plans, including a gift in your will, IRA charitable rollover, life insurance beneficiary designation, charitable remainder trusts, or a securities transfer. We are here to assist you in meeting your and your family's philanthropic goals.
In gratitude for our Einstein Legacy Society members, we are pleased to offer the following benefits:
- Invitation to the Einstein Legacy Society Annual Luncheon
- Subscription to Einstein magazine
- Regular news, updates, and event invitations from Einstein
Once you have finalized your estate plans, we welcome you to complete our member profile form here.
By informing us of your intention to support Einstein, you secure your membership in The Albert Einstein Legacy Society and allow us to celebrate your generosity.
Please be in touch.
