Start Planning Your Legacy

In 1899, Indiana Fletcher Williams founded Sweet Briar College through a visionary planned gift.

Indiana’s vision of a college for the education of young women inspired her to establish a trust of land and other assets that became her enduring legacy. This planned gift has provided transformational educational opportunities for generations of young women for over 100 years. Please join us as a Williams Associate to ensure that her legacy will prosper—in perpetuity.
