Thoughtful Estate Planning: Gifts That Can Reduce Taxes, Provide Lifetime Income and Support Emory & Henry College
One of the most effective ways to care for your family and ensure that your philanthropic goals are carried out is with an up-to-date estate plan. If you own property, have dependents or have recently experienced life changes, visit an estate attorney to create or update your will and/or trust document. There are also planned giving steps you can take without visiting an attorney. For example, completing a simple form can designate a beneficiary for your retirement assets or insurance plans. Contact your benefits administrator or insurance agent for more information.
If you are considering the impact of taxes, contact us to see how including Emory & Henry in your estate plan can provide a legacy here while reducing taxes for yourself and your family.

Since the community-wide kickoff on September 30, the Office of Advancement’s major gifts team has been raising funds to support the campaign’s three pillars: the MultiSport Complex, the Equestrian Center and student success.
The 34th B. G. Raines Education Forum was held in March at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center in Abingdon, Va. The forum is an annual event held to bring together individuals from Emory & Henry, surrounding schools, businesses, and industry to establish an ongoing dialogue regarding educational needs and opportunities in our region. The speakers included keynote speaker Valerie Ellery (right), an international educational consultant and best-selling author, and Fabiana Parker, 2023 Virginia Teacher of the Year. “For thirty-four years the B. G. Raines Education Forum has brought exemplary educators and leaders from all regions of our nation to Southwest Virginia,” said Dr. Sandra Frederick, Education Department chair. “These guests provide our local educators and community partners with insights into student learning, current educational research, and sound teaching pedagogy that can immediately be taken back into our regional schools to benefit the children of Southwest Virginia.”
