The Heritage Circle

The Heritage Circle is a loyal group of alumni, families, and friends who have been recognized for their thoughtful planning of future gifts to the Academy. By bequest or other deferred gift arrangement, members of the Heritage Circle have generously provided Exeter with transformational support since the school’s inception and continue to do so today.

Planned gifts are a primary source of growth for Exeter’s endowment. Each year, several million dollars in realized planned gifts are received by the Academy through the remarkable generosity, loyalty, and long-term philanthropic planning of alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends. This significant support provides critical funding for Exeter’s people, programs, and facilities—including financial aid, general operating support, the arts, athletics, student organizations and clubs, capital projects, and the overall student experience.
