Planned Giving

Members of the Herbert S. Boyd Society express their commitment to Solebury School by contributing to Solebury School's endowment through bequests, life-income and other planned gifts. Gifts through wills (bequests) continue to be the School's primary source of endowment. Solebury's first bequest, from the School's original treasurer, Herbert Boyd, was used to build the Herbert S. Boyd Dining Hall in 1968 and start the School's endowment.
