What is Legacy Giving?

Legacy giving, also known as legacy donation or planned giving, is a form of estate planning that involves including charitable donations in one’s will or estate plan. It allows individuals to leave a lasting impact on causes they care about by allocating a portion of their assets to charitable organizations or causes. Legacy giving enables individuals to support their favorite charities even after the individual is gone, ensuring their values and philanthropic goals continue to make a difference in the world.

Why Consider Legacy Giving?

Legacy giving offers a profound opportunity to extend your impact beyond your lifetime. By incorporating charitable donations into your estate planning, donors can leave a lasting legacy of their generosity and support for causes close to their hearts. This form of planned giving ensures that legacy donors’ values and philanthropic goals continue to make a meaningful difference in the world, empowering future generations to build upon their legacy of compassion and generosity. 

Additionally, legacy giving allows donors to create a personal connection with the organizations they support. It helps foster a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction, knowing you’re contributing to positive societal change. Whether supporting education, healthcare, environmental conservation, or any other cause, legacy giving provides a powerful means to leave a lasting mark on the world and inspire others to follow in your footsteps.
