*Planned gifts provide the resources that preserve our future. “Planned giving” is a term used in the nonprofit world that refers to a donor making a gift from their accumulated assets. This type of giving is often written into a donor’s will and includes many different options, such as cash bequests, gifts of life insurance or retirement policies, real estate or other assets. Planned gifts can provide extraordinary opportunities for the Fund while helping you to save taxes, increase your income and pass more on to your heirs. If you would like to learn more about the Fund’s planned giving campaign and how you can participate, please call our office at 404-371-8404.
