Planned Giving
Long-term gifts provide enduring support for teaching and learning at Maret. A gift to the Future Fund is a legacy that lives forever.
The Future Fund honors those who make a lasting commitment to Maret through their estate plans or other long-term gifts. Gifts may be as straightforward as naming Maret as one of the beneficiaries of a retirement account or life insurance policy, including the school in your will or trust, or careful gift planning with a financial advisor. Whether simple or more structured, these thoughtful commitments provide donors with peace of mind knowing they have cared for their families today while also fulfilling their long-term philanthropic goals.
In gratitude, members of the Future Fund will be recognized in Maret publications in perpetuity.

FUTURE FUND SPOTLIGHT
Nina Cohen '65 Fund
A Maret “lifer” and graduate of Georgetown University, Nina Cohen remained devoted to Maret throughout her lifetime. She contributed to the school with thoughtfulness and heart in various volunteer roles–including serving on the Alumni Council and numerous Reunion Host Committees–over the years. Her commitment to the community and enduring class bonds were a testament to her love and care for Maret and her former classmates. Upon her passing this year, Nina left a bequest to Maret to establish the Nina Cohen ’65 Endowment Fund, a legacy reflecting her treasured friendships and deep appreciation for the school.
