The Margaret Carle Morris Society

In 1918, Margaret Carle Morris made a bequest of $40,000 so Urbana could have its own hospital. Her gift established what became Carle Foundation Hospital and Carle Clinic Association. Membership in the Margaret Carle Morris Society is open to all donors who commit a future gift to Carle.

A commitment to make a future gift can be made in many ways. Examples include making a charitable bequest under a will, giving property to Carle or setting up a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity. Donors can even specify how they want their gift allocated. Please contact The Carle Development Foundation at (217) 383-3021 to ensure your gift intentions are fulfilled.
