Development: Planned Giving
 Receiving this message in a Western Union Telegram from John D.
Rockefeller, Jr. ("David's father"), Reverend W. A. R. Goodwin was secretly
given permission to purchase the Ludwell-Paradise House (the "antique")
for eight thousand dollars, the first of many real estate purchases necessary
to restore Colonial Williamsburg. Since the time of Reverend Goodwin's
vision of a restored colonial capital, careful planning has been a critical
factor in making Colonial Williamsburg a reality for future generations.
We encourage you to consider joining a very special group of Colonial
Williamsburg supporters - W. A. R. Goodwin Society members. Society
members are those friends who express their support for the future of
Colonial Williamsburg by including a bequest or other life income gift
for the Foundation in their estate plan. Members also include friends
who have bequeathed antiques, folk art, and other objects to the Foundation
for our collections.
Membership in the W. A. R. Goodwin Society
Friends who include a bequest or other type of deferred gift for Colonial
Williamsburg in their personal financial planning are eligible for membership
in the W. A. R. Goodwin Society.
The types of gifts that qualify for membership are:
