Legacy Giving

Planned Giving

Leaving a legacy gift is a personal decision - one that speaks to your values and a desire to give back to the causes and organizations that mean so much to you, your family, and your community.

The most common planned gift, a charitable bequest, is a donation made through your Will. Wills can be structured in a way that allows you to provide financial security for your loved ones first, while also reserving a portion for charitable giving.

You can donate by including Saint Luke’s Place as a beneficiary in your Will/Insurance. Choose the type of bequest that best suits your circumstances and wishes. You retain full control of your assets during your lifetime and your standard of living is not affected.

Your estate will receive significant tax credits that can be passed on to your heirs. Upon receiving the bequest, Saint Luke’s Place issues a donation receipt to your estate for the full amount of the bequest.

Adding a gift to charity in your will is simple and accessible to everyone.
