Anyone who informs the Development Office of their intention to include Caius as a beneficiary in their Will becomes a member of the Edmund Gonville Society, named after the College’s first founder. Established in 2002, the Society gives the College the opportunity to recognise and thank legacy pledgers during their lifetime.



Members of the Edmund Gonville Society are invited to the College on Benefactors' Day during May Week in the year they pledge a legacy to the College and each year thereafter if that pledge is £20,000 or more. We will also include you as a benefactor in College publications. In addition, those indicating especially generous legacies are invited to take part in the annual service for the Commemoration of Benefactors in Chapel and dine with the Master and Fellows at the Commemoration Feast.
