Legacy Gifts

Would you consider remembering JF&CS in your will or trust, or by beneficiary designation? A legacy gift can be made during your lifetime or distributed from your estate. There is no minimum amount required. You can designate a particular JF&CS program or your gift can be used where we need it most. By leaving a legacy gift for JF&CS, you help ensure that our programs and services you funded during your lifetime will continue for generations to come.

A legacy gift of $50,000 or more can establish a named endowment fund. A legacy gift in any amount can be directed to support a particular program or service. It’s your choice.

Ways to Make a Legacy Gift:

• Outright – cash, stock or other property given during one’s lifetime.
  * By making a cash gift by check or credit card, we can meet our most current need that you will see in your lifetime. You will also receive a federal income tax charitable deduction, when you itemize.
• Testamentary – part of one’s estate. Bequest, Life Insurance, or IRA.
• Deferred – blends current financial and testamentary planning.
• Charitable Gift Annuity

We would love to speak with you and your attorney or financial adviser about these and other ways you can continue to support JF&CS beyond your lifetime. For more information contact Chief Development Officer, Laura Robbins, at 314-812-9365 or lrobbins@jfcs-stl.org.
