Why Would I Consider Planned Giving?
Whether through a contribution to the Legacy Fund or outside the Fund, planned giving is beneficial in many ways. In addition to giving you control over how your assets are handled, planned giving allows you to:
- leave a lasting legacy;
- help ensure the longevity of the Union's programs;
- maintain your current standard of living and not compromise your quality of life (it can be adjusted should your circumstances change); and
- reap various tax benefits.
