Jay P. Graves Society

The Jay P. Graves Society was established in 2001 to honor those caring and visionary individuals who have established planned gifts with The Whitworth Foundation or have named Whitworth University as a beneficiary of their estate plans through a bequest, trust, gift annuity, pooled-income fund, life-insurance policy or retirement-account designation.
The society is named for one of Spokane's founding fathers: Jay P. Graves' vision and generosity resulted in Whitworth finding its permanent home on the city's north side, where the university has grown and prospered since 1914.
