Your SETI Legacy
OZma Society (named by Frank Drake, see origin here) members commit to the scientific pursuit of evidence of the existence of intelligent life in the Universe by including the SETI Institute in their estate plans. Members receive special access - invitations to exclusive events, special publications, insider information, and special recognition.
A gift for the SETI Institute in your will, trust or other plans will ensure humanity’s best scientists continue the search for life in the universe for generations to come. There are many ways you can arrange a meaningful gift to the SETI Institute, many described below.
If you are considering a legacy gift, we would be delighted to discuss and answer your question confidentially. If you have already included the SETI Institute in your plans, please let us know so that we can thank you and invite you to join the OZma Society. Of course, we always recommend you work with your advisors to determine which gift(s) and planning is most appropriate for you.
