The Charles P. Harris Planned Giving Society

The Charles P. Harris Society offers alumni, parents, grandparents and friends of Landmark School the opportunity to invest in Landmark’s future.

Many generous individuals support Landmark School through annual and special contributions. Planned gifts, however, strengthen the school's financial foundation; providing funds to fuel innovation and safeguard essential services during uncertain economic times.

In return, planned gifts also provide significant benefits for donors. Bequests, Charitable Gift Annuities, Charitable Remainder Trusts, or naming Landmark as partial beneficiary of your Retirement Plan can provide significant tax benefits to you while assisting Landmark in the process. Our staff will work closely with you and your financial advisor to identify the plan that is right for you and facilitate your involvement.

Charles “Charley” Harris has been an integral part of the Landmark School landscape since its founding in 1971. As Landmark's first Assistant Headmaster, Charley helped set the course for the school, and today remains a steadfast guardian of its mission. Over the years, Charley has served the school in numerous roles as fund raiser, financial aid counselor, liaison to the regulatory and accreditation agencies, and Director of Personnel.

An extraordinary wordsmith, Charley has served as the school’s writer, editor, and grammatical expert for as long as anyone can remember. His wisdom, gentleness, integrity, and strong advocacy for children have been a source of sustenance for Landmark for over three decades.
