The Crichton Club has established a permanent endowment at The Columbus Foundation to provide long‑term support for the Club’s mission and programs. Individuals wishing to create a lasting legacy may designate the Crichton Club Endowment as a beneficiary through their estate plans, including wills, trusts, retirement accounts, or other planned‑giving instruments.
The Columbus Foundation is able to receive a variety of charitable assets, including contributions from Donor Advised Funds, gifts of appreciated securities, and other structured philanthropic vehicles. Planned gifts to the endowment are invested to preserve principal while generating annual support for the Club’s continued vitality.
A bequest or planned gift in honor or in memory of an individual ensures that their name and legacy remain connected to the intellectual and cultural life of the Crichton Club for generations. Such commitments strengthen the Club’s future and reflect a thoughtful, enduring expression of stewardship.
