Legacy Challenge

Generosity from donors and friends makes all the difference for our students and programs. By joining the 2023-24 Matthew Simpson Legacy Challenge, you can open doors to scholarships and more!

Include Simpson College in your estate plan and the college will match a portion of your future gift today—to the department or program of your choice! The $50,000 unlocked in 2022-23 will have an immediate impact on our students and programs, and another $50,000 is waiting to be unlocked for 2023-24.

The 2023-24 Matthew Simpson Legacy Challenge provides an immediate cash match for donors who document new or increased planned gift commitments to the college. Qualifying commitments include gifts by will, trust, insurance or IRA beneficiary designation. By documenting your intentions, you can direct matching funds to your area of interest (equal to 5% of the value of your planned gift, up to $5,000).

Here’s how it works.
