Optics Trust
The Optics Trust is a special group of OSA members and supporters who have agreed to provide for the OSA Foundation's philanthropic activities in their wills and estate plans.
There are several ways to make a bequest to the Foundation. You may leave the OSA Foundation a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or a portion of the residual of the estate after you have provided for those close to you. Each person's legal and financial situation will differ, and the laws applicable to estates and trusts vary from state to state. Accordingly, it is important that you consult with a professional advisor or attorney as you consider a gift to the OSA Foundation in your estate plan. To join the Trust, simply complete the pledge form and return it to the OSA Foundation.
