Legacy Giving (Leg'?-se Giv'ing)
- Verb. To convey one's values through creation of a future gift to charity
- Noun. A foresighted action to strengthen a favorite cause
Anyone can create a legacy gift by naming a charity on the beneficiary form of a savings, checking, or pension account; remembering a charity in a will or living trust; or using a more complex instrument such as a charitable life-income trust.
All of these forms of legacy giving demonstrate a powerful and meaningful way for you to create a philanthropic legacy for your community and favorite cause, like Lower Cape Fear Hospice & LifeCareCenter, that you care about.
While tax planning is often not the motivation behind a charitable contribution, there are many tax advantages for you to consider before making a donation. We are happy to work with you and your financial advisor.
