What
is Leave A Legacy®?
Every
day, thousands of people living in Southwest Florida
receive benefit from local charities. Through the efforts
of nonprofit organizations underprivileged children
receive health care, the frail elderly are allowed to
live with dignity in their own homes, and the arts flourish
in our communities. But, these charities cannot operate
without our ongoing financial support.
Chances
are, you already donate a portion of your income to
nonprofit organizations of your choice. But have you
considered including those organizations in your will?
By leaving a legacy, you can continue to make a difference
for generations of Southwest Floridians to come. Leave A Legacy® Southwest Florida can help you to get
started in this rewarding process.
The
Leave A Legacy® Mission
Leave A Legacy® is a local public awareness campaign
that promotes charitable planned giving here in our
Southwest Florida communities. The purpose of this effort
is simple - we want to close the gap - between the 70
percent of Southwest Floridians who support charities
in their lifetimes and the 6 percent who remember those
charities through their wills or estate plans.
Whether
you use a will or other estate planning vehicle, your
generosity can impact countless lives. The time to prepare
those docuements is now.
Leave A Legacy® has been encouraging planned giving
in Southwest Florida since 1996. The organization is
the public awareness arm of the Planned Giving Council
of Lee County and the Collier County Council on Planned
Giving. Leave A Legacy® does not promote any specific
charities or donor advisors. Our mission is solely to
provide information to assist the public in their support
of nonprofit organizations.
