Legacy Gifts

A legacy gift to the Connecticut Education Foundation (CEF) is a meaningful way to support public education in Connecticut for generations to come. By including CEF in your long-term giving plans, you help ensure that students and educators continue to receive vital support that strengthens schools and removes barriers to learning.

Legacy gifts provide sustained funding for CEF’s core programs, including scholarships, emergency student assistance, and initiatives that remove barriers to learning. These gifts allow you to align your values with long-term impact, strengthening public education while honoring a lifelong commitment to students and educators.

Whether made through a will, trust, or other planned giving arrangement, legacy gifts help CEF respond to evolving needs and invest in opportunities that support equity, access, and educational success across Connecticut.
