Planned Giving : The 1980 Legacy Society

Did you know that you don't have to write a check

to make a gift to Laurel House?

You can give us appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares

Make the agency a beneficiary of your Will or Revocable Trust, Life Insurance Policy, or Retirement Fund, creating a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime

Contribute cash, securities, or other assets to a donor-advised fund

Gift to Laurel House life insurance you no longer need

Make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from an Individual Retirement Account, Donor-Advised Fund, or other avenues.

Whatever feels right, we welcome our friends and family members who commit to our future through a bequest, beneficiary designation or other planned gift.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.



Laurel House is the legacy of our Founding Mothers' vision for a safe haven for survivors of domestic violence.

Become a part of our story today and consider making a Planned Gift to Laurel House.

A Planned Gift is when a donor or potential donor creates a financial or estate plan in which they formally decide to give something of value to an organization during their lifetime or at death.

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It's easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
