Planned Giving >>> Deferred Gifts
Navigator Society Captain Christopher Newport, the University's namesake, was the navigator of the three ships bringing the colonists to Jamestown in 1607. In doing so, he helped to chart the future of the New World.
Members of the CNU Navigator Society are also charting a course. Through their generosity in planned gifts, they are steering the University into the future and securing our success for generations to come.
Just as the colonial navigators in 1607 could not have imagined the future greatness of the land they were settling, our Navigator Society members can only imagine the bright future they are making possible for Captain Newport's namesake University.
To Join the Navigator Society The Christopher Newport University Educational Foundation looks forward to welcoming you to membership in the Navigator Society, where you will join other alumni and friends who have made a commitment to the continued excellence of Christopher Newport University through planned gifts.

Do you need to share your estate planning documents with the CNU Educational Foundation? It's not necessary, but it can be helpful. Sharing your plans (or the portion of your plan that benefits CNU) can help to maximize the benefits from your eventual gift and will insure that your gift willl support the University's mission and will be used according to your intentions.
