LEAVE A LEGACY^™ is a community-based program to help people learn about charitable giving through a will or from an estate. LEAVE A LEGACY^™ does NOT solicit gifts for any particular organization. Instead, the program is a cooperative effort of all types of nonprofit groups including social service and arts organizations, churches, hospitals, educational institutions and other philanthropic groups.

Charitable, nonprofit groups play an important role in our lives, extending help in many ways, from giving seniors a hot meal, to linking up children with good role models. Help may also come in the form of fighting a terrible disease, leading a spiritual experience or bringing beauty to your world through the arts.

The truth is that these special organizations need financial assistance from people like you in order to continue their good deeds. More than 70% of Americans contribute to the nonprofit groups of their choice throughout their lifetimes. Only around 6% continue this support through a gift in their will or estate plan. By making these "planned gifts," you can continue to help organizations that are making an important difference in your community. When you LEAVE A LEGACY^™, you make sure that help continues to be there for those who need it.
