Leaving a Legacy
Estate planning is a powerful way to express your values and to care for your partner, family, and community. Everyone should devote time to creating estate plans, but such plans are especially important for LGBT people, whose lives and loves are not fully recognized by society. With proper planning, you can make sure your wishes are fulfilled, possibly lower your estate tax, and also create powerful change.
Ways to give
There are many ways to be charitable through your estate. Some of the easiest ways are:
- Name Pride Foundation as a beneficiary in your will. Sample bequest language for inclusion in your will can be found here
- Making Pride Foundation a beneficiary to your life insurance policy or IRA
- Naming Pride foundation as the beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust.
With just a little planning you can make sure your loved ones and your community are supported far into the future. Look inside the Leave a Legacy brochure to see how estate planning and planned giving through Pride Foundation can make this possible.
