Civil Air Patrol Semper Vigilans Society

Semper means “always” in Latin and is an integral part of Civil Air Patrol’s motto “Semper Vigilans” meaning always vigilant or always ready.

Civil Air Patrol established the Semper Vigilans Society in 2020 to recognize the generosity of members, alumni, parents, grandparents, national staff, and friends who have made provisions for CAP in their estate plans. These planned gifts ensure CAP is always ready for the future.

Qualifying commitments may be of any amount and may be directed to support programs of the donor’s choice. Donors are encouraged to consider gift designations that provide as much flexibility as possible to meet the changing needs of the future.

Types of gifts which may be included: will, revocable living trust, life insurance, beneficiary designation on a retirement account or other deferred gift arrangement.

**Joining the Semper Vigilans Society**

Once you decide to make an estate gift to support CAP, inclusion as a member takes just three simple steps:

Document your gift. With the help of your professional advisors, include a gift to the Civil Air Patrol or Civil Air Patrol Foundation — through a bequest life insurance or living trust — in your estate plan. A gift of any size qualifies you for membership.

Submit your Semper Vigilans Society Membership form. Complete the form and return it to Civil Air Patrol’s Development Office. We will keep the details of your gift confidential, and you are welcome to decline public recognition.

Notify the Development Department at CAP. Send a copy of your will, trust agreement or insurance policy to us. You may copy just the relevant part of your will or trust agreement or the cover and beneficiary pages of your insurance policy. If you and your spouse both seek membership and have separate wills, please submit copies of both documents. This applies also to trust agreements and insurance policies.
