Join the 1902 Society

“A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.”
— D. Elton Trueblood

The 1902 Society was established to recognize and thank those who have made a commitment to the Navy League through their will, a trust, a gift annuity, a life insurance policy, or other type of deferred gift. Because all planned gifts represent an expression of confidence in the Navy League, the 1902 Society has no minimum gift level — membership is for life — and there is no membership fee. If you have made or are considering making a deferred gift to the Navy League and are interested in discussing joining the 1902 Society, a legacy organization, please contact us.
