Legacy Forward
Investing Today. Inspiring Tomorrow.
The WTS Foundation is pleased to introduce Legacy Forward, its premier Major and Planned Giving program. Legacy Forward invites individuals to make a meaningful impact today and help create opportunities for future generations of women in transportation.
A Legacy That Moves Us Forward
As WTS International prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2027, we recognize the people whose leadership, service, and generosity have helped shape this community. Legacy Forward builds on that history by inviting supporters to invest in the Foundation’s continuing mission through major and planned gifts.
Ways to Make an Impact
Major Giving
A major gift offers an opportunity to support the WTS Foundation’s work today and help advance its mission.
Planned Giving
A planned gift allows individuals to consider a future contribution through their estate or beneficiary planning, in consultation with their own professional advisors.
Every giving conversation is personal. The Foundation welcomes inquiries about donor interests, options, and recognition preferences without an expectation of an immediate commitment.
Introducing the 1977 Founders Circle
In connection with the launch of Legacy Forward and WTS International’s upcoming 50th anniversary, the Foundation is introducing the 1977 Founders Circle, a special inaugural recognition opportunity.
Individuals who make a major gift of $5,000 or more or document a planned giving commitment of $10,000 or more between November 2026 and November 2027 are eligible for the 1977 Founders Circle.
Qualifying donors are eligible to receive a commemorative 1977 Founders Circle pin. Public acknowledgment is optional, and donor preferences regarding recognition, confidentiality, and anonymity will be respected, subject to applicable legal requirements.
