Jonathan Foster '59—A Legacy Made Simple

Jonathan Foster '59 uses phrases like "easy," "stable and safe," and "an obvious choice" when talking about the combination of gifts he made to celebrate his 50th reunion last year.

Jon became a charter member of the George Eastman Circle, funded two charitable gift annuities, and named the University a beneficiary of retirement funds. "Regardless of circumstances, everyone can make a meaningful gift to the University. With proper planning you can minimize the impact on your financial situation."

Why support the University of Rochester? "Education is the solution, really, to most of the world's problems and I'm hugely impressed with what Rochester does. I want to support that."
