LEAVE A LEGACY

LEAVE A LEGACY® Southeast Michigan is a nine-county-wide campaign encouraging people to name non-profit organizations in their wills. The campaign, which is driven by the efforts of volunteers from non-profit groups, and financial, estate planning and law firms, is sponsored by the Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan — a group of professionals in legal, financial, and allied fields as well as fundraising professionals whose focus is planned giving.

The campaign resulted from a growing recognition that, although the majority of Americans support charities during their lifetimes, very few have considered leaving a gift through their estate. These legacy gifts can make a tremendous difference to human service and arts organizations, hospitals, educational institutions and other nonprofit agencies — and to the individuals who turn to these organizations in times of need.
