The concept of the Freed-Hardeman University's Endowment Society was to establish a premier giving club. Originating in the mind of Dr. E. Claude Gardner, former president of Freed-Hardeman University, in 1972, The Endowment Society was officially established June 23, 1976.
This society was established to help you create a planned gift strategy to satisfy your financial needs and to create your lasting legacy with Freed-Hardeman University.
The Center for Estate and Gift Planning oversees the Endowment Society club and will work with you and your advisors to meet your financial needs.
