Legacy giving is a means of continuing your philanthropy into the future. Bequests do not affect cash flow during your lifetime, but do give you the ability to make a significant impact on the future of Third Street Alliance.
Ways to include Third Street Alliance in your will:
1. Specify a Dollar Amount:
You can designate a specific amount to be donated to Third Street Alliance.
2. Percentage of Your Estate:
You can allocate a percentage of your estate to be given to our organization.
3. Residual Bequest:
After all other bequests and obligations are fulfilled, you can leave the remainder of your estate to Third Street Alliance.
4. Specific Asset:
You can donate a specific asset, such as real estate, stocks, or other valuable property.
Regardless of your age, wealth, or how many assets you may or may not have, having a valid will in place is always beneficial for you and the people and causes you care about!
The benefits of having a will:
- Peace of mind
- Expedition of the probate process
- Minimization of estate taxes
- Avoids legal challenges
- Protects minor children and pets
- Leaves behind a legacy of support for the causes your care about most
