How will the world change because you have been in it?
When you value a nonprofit's work, you help it meet its annual financial needs. Once you have truly embraced its vision and come to count on its making a difference in our community far into the future, you want to ensure that its financial strength will be sustained after the measure of your own lifetime.
Look ahead.
The charities in our region work in the present but look to the future. They understand that they must build their endowments, so that they are on a stable footing to meet the challenges and opportunities that the future will deliver. Your legacy -- your bequest, trust, or other planned gift -- helps the charities you support now to meet these long-term needs.
Leave your mark.
Gifts made through your estate tell the world about the people and institutions you loved and valued in your life. Include the charities you care about. Let them, and your neighbors, know that you believe their work makes a difference, and that it will continue to make a difference in the community for generations to come.
Your neighbors are leaving a legacy.
