Enter into the Heritage Circle

Gifts funded through estate planning and bequests are critical to the future programs, activities, and operations of The Research Foundation. By naming The Foundation in your will, or by designating it as a beneficiary of other planned giving instruments, you will become part of The Foundation's Heritage Circle.

Recently, Michael S. Raphael, CIA, an IIA member for 37 years, submitted a bequest to The Foundation. According to Raphael, "I have been an internal auditor for more than 40 years and have witnessed firsthand the value that The Foundation has within the profession. The Foundation is the branch of The Institute that utilizes its resources to help us work smarter, to be alert to changes within the profession and know how to respond to them, and to help management understand the value we add. Therefore I felt that including The Foundation in my will was the appropriate way to show my gratitude."
