LEGACY GIVING SOCIETY

Why Planned Giving?

Beyond providing for your loved ones, your will can be a tribute to the principles and values you have lived. Creating a will is the single most important step you can take to ensure your wishes will be carried out and is the best way to establish a legacy for the organizations whose work is closest to your heart.
