(The amounts of your contributions will be kept confidential.)

Planned Giving

Whether it’s a straightforward bequest, a charitable gift annuity, or a more complex trust arrangement, planned gifts support The Gilmore’s Endowment Fund and often provide financial benefits to the donor, too. Tax savings, current cash payments, supplemental support for family members and friends — these and other benefits are available depending on a donor’s circumstances and objectives. We help our donors choose the approach that works best for them. Learn more about planned giving.
