Join the Frost Society Through Estate Planning

When you name HCC Foundation as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy, you become a member of the Frost Society — honoring students for generations to come.

How Adelante works with the Frost Society

  1. Name the HCC Foundation as a beneficiary: Your commitment immediately supports students: $1,000 match added to an existing HCC scholarship of your choice.
  2. Disclose estimated value of planned gift: Share the estimated value of your future gift, and we'll match 10 percent of that amount (up to $25,000) to establish a new endowed scholarship in your honor or enhance an existing fund.

For example: Disclose a $100,000 planned gift and receive $11,000 in matching funds—$1,000 to support a scholarship of your choice immediately, plus $10,000 to establish or grow your own named endowed fund.
