The Heritage Society recognizes those members of the School community who make a bequest or planned gift, expanding opportunities for future generations of Cardigan boys.

With gifts of all sizes, members of The Heritage Society honor and sustain the mission of Cardigan Mountain School and inspire others to support the School. Like the School’s founders, theirs is a legacy with continuing impact. We are honored to represent their philanthropic priorities in perpetuity, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to assume that trust and responsibility.
