WHAT IS LEAVE A LEGACY®?
 Remember
Charity in Your Estate Plan!
Many people give generously during their lifetimes
by making current cash gifts to their favorite
charities such as religious organizations,
schools, and nonprofit agencies. But many
do not consider the possibility of including
these organizations in their estate planning.
Remembering charity in your will or other
estate plan will help ensure the continued
existence of the charities you've always supported.
It can allow you to preserve and pass on your
values and be remembered for what you gave
rather than what you had.
LEAVE A LEGACY® - Kansas City
LEAVE A LEGACY® is a national campaign with
a special effort here in Kansas City to
encourage people of all ages and backgrounds
to make planned gifts from their estates
to their favorite charitable organizations
and to help connect people with the specific
charitable organizations that will help
them fulfill their legacy. The goal of LEAVE A LEGACY® Kansas City is to increase charitable
giving to improve the quality of life for
all those in the Kansas City area.
Give
to Your Favorite Charity, not to LEAVE A
LEGACY®
LEAVE A LEGACY® is not a separate charitable
organization and does not solicit contributions
from individuals, but instead is underwritten
by local foundations and organizations.

charity or group of charities - but instead
strive to educate and to promote charitable
planned giving to any and all charities!
