Irvin Stewart Society
The WVU Irvin Stewart Society honors donors whose planned gifts will provide for the future of the University. Membership in the Society is given to those who include a gift provision in a will or revocable trust, create a life-income gift, designate an after-death gift of a retirement account, make checking, savings or stock accounts “payable upon death,” donate life insurance, or make a gift of real estate with a retained life interest benefiting WVU and its entities.
