Leave A Legacy
Leave A Legacy is a community-wide program to promote interest in charitable giving through a will or for an estate. Leave A Legacy works hand-in-hand with OAEF and other nonprofit groups (including social service and art organizations, churches, hospitals, educational institutions and other philanthropic groups) to encourage this activity.
Charitable, nonprofit groups play an important role in our lives. These special organizations that are important to you, rely on your continued financial assistance in order to contine their good deeds.
By leaving a legacy through a gift in your Will, you can continue to help organizations that are making an important difference in our community.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Must I have an estate to leave a gift?
An estate is simply a word used to describe any property money, money or personal belongings that you may have at the time of your death. Anyone can arrange to leave a charitable gift for their estate when they pass away. - How do I leave a gift for an organization that I admire?
You can arrange for a gift in several ways, the most common being through a Will. Many people set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of their estate, or any assets left over after their family has been provided for. Some people will give a charity something they won like a car or their home. Others leave a paid-up life insurance policy or other financial investment. - Who can help me arrange for a gift?
Please feel free to contact Tim Bernasek if you have any questions or how you can leave a legacy with the Oregon Agricultural Education Foundation.
While Leave A Legacy concentrates on gifts through your Will or estate, you can also help the nonprofits you care about in various ways:
- consider a regular financial gift to OAEF
- appreciated stocks or property while you are living.
- remember loved ones with memorial gifts
- encourage your family and friends to leave gifts to nonprofits such
as OAEF in their Wills.
