We
Americans are a generous people. More than 70 percent
of us make charitable contributions during our lifetimes.
Yet only six percent will provide ongoing support through
wills or estate plans.
LEAVE A LEGACY® wants to change that.
Encouraging Legacies...
Newton
area LEAVE A LEGACY is part of a licensed national program
created by the National Council on Planned Giving and
sponsored by Central Kansas Planned Giving Roundtable.
The program promotes philanthropy through wills and estate
plans. The Newton community was the first in Kansas to
offer a LEAVE A LEGACY program.
Through
our public education program that encourages planned giving,
we seek to bring together communities, donors and estate
planning professionals.
Continuing
your financial support through estate planning is critical
if your favorite charities are to flourish and grow. For
years to come.
Educating...
Our
annual month-long public education
campaign offers a variety of activities to encourage
planned giving and to raise awareness of the various planning
strategies available to you.
At
the heart of the campaign is our Speakers Bureau - professionals
who make presentations to local organizations on estate
planning. Our speakers include attorneys, financial planners,
accountants, estate planners and others with expertise
in this area.
Any
group may request a speaker. Contact
us.
Paving
the way...
To
help you make decisions regarding your estate planning,
we've included a directory
of Harvey County 501(c)3 charities that includes useful
information on each organization or agency.
LEAVE A LEGACY is not seeking support for any particular group,
or for organizations in a specific area. We only want
you to realize the potential that lies within each of
us to make a startling difference in the lives of others.
