3 Steps to Lasting Impact
Your legacy gift to the Foundation will grow over time, yielding income each year that is invested back in the community as grants and scholarships that help transform lives and touch those most in need. Here's how to get started:
- Just give us a call to confidentially discuss how the Foundation can help you to realize your charitable intent and achieve lasting benefit through your will or estate plan -- or by giving now to help transform the community during your lifetime.
- Talk with a legal advisor about revising or creating your Will and including the Foundation as a charitable beneficiary.
- Let us know when you have finished your plan. We'll gladly recognize you in our Stockade Legacy Society.
"Please give me a call at 518-393-9500, or send a quick email to set up a time to talk. In just a few minutes our confidential conversation can help get you started down the path of leaving a legacy that will help our community measurably -- now, and forever."
