LEAVE A LEGACY

LEAVE A LEGACY® is the public awareness campaign of the National Committee on Planned Giving. LEAVE A LEGACY programs across the country are educating the public about the benefits of leaving bequests to charity in wills and estate plans. OPALGA is a proud community partner of the LEAVE A LEGACY mission and its local organizer, the Oak Park and River Forest LEAVE A LEGACY program. To create a legacy gift, contact your professional financial advisor or visit the LEAVE A LEGACY website for more information.

1.  Prepare a will! With a will, you control the assets you worked a lifetime to acquire!

2.  Leave a gift in your will to a charitable organization like OPALGA that has made a difference in your life or in the life of someone you love. Imagine the positive impact on our community if everyone remembered to make at least one charitable gift!

3.  Donate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your assets, which can include stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, real estate, vehicles, art, jewelry and other personal property.

4.  Name OPALGA as the beneficiary of your IRA or pension plan.

5.  Name OPALGA as the beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or purchase a new policy and name us as the beneficiary.

6.  Remember deceased loved ones with a memorial gift to OPALGA.

7. Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to charities in their wills.

There may be tax advantages to your planned gift giving. Your professional financial advisor can examine the possibilities with you.
