Torchbearers Legacy Society
The Torchbearers of Caltech are investors in the future of the Institute who share the desire to ensure that their support continues beyond their lifetimes.
Torchbearer membership is extended to individuals who have provided for Caltech in their wills or living trusts, designated Caltech as a beneficiary of life insurance or retirement accounts, or completed deferred gifts for the benefit of the Institute. Deferred gifts include charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, a remainder interest in a residence, or a similar arrangement
