Help build The Association For Community Living Legacy Fund.
We have established a permanent endowment fund, The Association For Community Living Legacy Fund, a new way to generate longer-term support from charitable planned gifts. This Fund provides a way for your gift, modest or large, to continue to support the mission you believe in, even after your own lifetime. Your commitment gives us the power to protect your gift and help it grow.

Join The Association For Community Living Legacy Society, a special society for individuals and couples who make The Association part of their estate planning. Whether a provision is made in your will for The Association or you give a gift of cash or provide support through a charitable planned gift, you are a member. You can fund planned gifts with cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CD’s/CDs, and even real estate.

A charitable planned gift is a special way to support the valuable and needed services that The Association provides children and adults with developmental disabilities. Individuals and families who are considering the near term and the long term value these types of gifts. Donating a planned gift to The Association allows you to strengthen and build this agency so that other children and adults and their families will receive necessary services today .. and tomorrow.

What is a charitable planned gift?

Any charitable contribution, immediate or deferred, that considers your personal tax, financial and estate planning circumstances, and that usually requires the participation of your professional advisors.

Your charitable planned gift can be as simple as an outright gift of cash or as sophisticated as a charitable trust or foundation that is integrated into a multi-faceted financial and estate plan.

A charitable planned gift offers you the opportunity to make a charitable gift of estate assets to The Association and other nonprofit organizations. It requires consideration and planning in light of your overall estate plan and you are advised to consult your advisors.

Improve the Lives of children and adults … Today and Tomorrow. Donate a charitable planned gift.

We have made a lifetime commitment to the individuals we serve to help them first discover and define their future, then work toward it . . . week by week, year after year.

Charitable gift planning ensures that you will make a lasting difference. One of the easiest and most flexible forms of charitable planned gifts is a bequest.

Leave a Bequest - your legacy – guarantee critical services are still available in 50 years. Bequests are a tremendous help to The Association and those we serve while providing you the opportunity to continue to support the mission you believe in, even after your lifetime.

A bequest, a provision in your will, allows you to establish a legacy for The Association and reduce your taxable estate for the benefit of your heirs while retaining the use of your assets during your lifetime. It is the easiest type of charitable gift that an individual can give to The Association, other than cash, and requires no financial outlay by you at this time.

Select a bequest that meets your needs. After providing for your loved ones, please decide to leave a provision in your will to The Association, designating a specific amount or percentage of cash, marketable securities, real estate, or other assets.

“When I recently reviewed the provisions of my will, I was surprised by what I learned. I could leave a provision for The Association through a simple memorandum to my will, a codicil. I could also leave a larger gift since the needs for which my will previously provided had changed..” Retired Judge Sidney Cooley, Board Member and Parent

Leave a lasting legacy.
