Planned Giving
Eben Wilde - Class of 2013
Including Gould Academy in my estate plans is a reflection of the profound impact the school and its community have had on my life.
Gould provided me with a top-notch education and an enriching experience, but the lasting effect of being part of the alumni community is truly the gift that keeps giving. The relationships I forged at Gould remain some of the most meaningful in my life, and honoring those ties through planned giving is my way of expressing gratitude for those relationships that continue to be a big part of my life.
When I see Gould friends to this day we still share that unique connection. We often reminisce about the little moments that defined our experience—long bus rides to away games, marching through the snow to Ordway for weekend brunch, and watching Patriots games together in the dorm on Sundays. These cherished traditions are dearly missed, yet they highlight the special camaraderie we built during our time at Gould.
Planned giving also ensures that future students can enjoy the same transformative experiences that I did. By making a contribution, I hope to make a small difference in helping the school continue its mission for many others. It feels like a way of paying it forward, allowing the next generation of students to find the same magic that I experienced during my time in Bethel.
