Swarthmore College

For Joe Wilson ’68, supporting Swarthmore is both personal and forward-looking.

A longtime volunteer and community member, Joe established a deferred charitable gift annuity to invest in the College’s future while also planning for his own. “Every time I come back to campus and listen to the students, I realize how special Swarthmore is,” he says. His gift helps ensure future generations of students can have that same experience.
