Such gifts might include a bequest, appreciated securities, gifts of retirement accounts, gifts of life insurance and/or charitable income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts.
Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our member profile form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in Legacy Circle.

The most important benefit you will receive from joining Legacy Circle is the satisfaction derived from making a lasting contribution to our long-term success.
