Planned Giving

Gerald Larkin

The Gerald Larkin Society acknowledges donors who make a planned gift to Trinity. Larkin, who headed the Salada Tea Company from 1922 to 1957, was an extraordianary benefactor -- as quiet and unassuming as he was generous. And while his gift of $6 million in 1961 remains the largest single bequest in the College's history, a planned gift of any size can have an impact on the quality of life and learning at the College.

To find out how to make a planned gift, contact Matthew Airhart, Executive Director, Alumni & Development, at 416-978-0407, or matthew.airhart@utoronto.ca
