Discussing your charitable intentions with us early in the process can lead to a much better result than acting alone—and will ensure that your gift is used in accord with your intentions. We have a planned giving consultant who can answer your general estate planning questions and provide additional information on any of the legacy giving options described on our web pages.
Act now to make thoughtful plans that will meet your individual and family needs, while also ensuring a legacy of mental wellness for future generations in our community. We welcome your call today to begin the conversation about how you’d like to leave your legacy and be recognized as a member of our esteemed Circle of Hope.
