Gift Planning
HOW WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED?
WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?
Your legacy is what you do for other people, the impact your actions have on lives long after you are gone and how you are remembered. With planned giving you make a contribution to future generations, while you and your loved ones enjoy the financial benefits. Planned gifts may include retirement assets, stock, life insurance proceeds or real estate. By including a charitable provision in your will or trust, or by designating a future gift of life insurance or retirement plan assets, you become a partner on our mission to better our community. We are grateful to those who have made provisions in their plans and want to acknowledge their thoughtful generosity and intentionality.
