A planned gift to Lindenwood University through a will or a trust is like a linden tree in the grove where Mary and George Sibley built their college in 1827. It starts with a small, seed of an idea to help a student. It grows wide and strong until its span provides shelter and its trunk makes a solid base for students and donors alike.
