Why Give?

The Seeing Eye Heritage Society was founded in 1989 to recognize and honor those individuals who have taken the important step of including a legacy gift to The Seeing Eye in their financial portfolios or estate plans.

Jeanne C., a long-time donor and member of the Heritage Society, knows why The Seeing Eye needs to be here now, and for future generations.

At The Seeing Eye, the world’s oldest guide dog school, we breed, raise, and train the world-famous Seeing Eye dogs, and train people who are blind how to use and care for these remarkable dogs.

The Seeing Eye is grateful for the support provided by donors who have made planned gifts to our Institution. Through their generosity, these individuals have demonstrated their commitment to the future of The Seeing Eye through gifts that have created meaningful legacies. Here are some of their stories.
