How to Plan - Take The Next Step

If Leaving a Bequest to Charity is of Interest to You

Think about the nonprofit groups or causes you'd most like to help. Maybe you or someone you know has benefited from the service of a particular organization. Maybe you're an active volunteer or believer in the mission of a specific organization. You might want to leave a gift in memory of a loved one or for a specific use.

Call the nonprofit group of your choice. They can tell you more about what they do, what opportunities are available for giving and how your gift will allow them to continue their good works.

Contact a professional advisor for help. An advisor can make sure you are getting the maximum tax and legal advantages allowed for your gift. If you do not have one and need a referral, please call for the Decatur Legacy program at:
