Treasure Coast Florida is a very caring place to live. Many people volunteer regularly and give financially to the organizations of their choice. When they are gone, their support is sorely missed. By leaving a gift in your will or living trust, you can continue to help organizations that are making an important difference in the lives of children and adults, animals and marine life, arts and the environment of the Treasure Coast.

A gift is a wonderful way to recognize someone who has made a difference in your life. You may choose to designate your gift for specific purpose such as research, a new building or special program. Your gift will assure that help continues to be available for those in need.

Many people believe they lack sufficient assets to include a charitable gift in their will or living trust. They assume that the joy of philanthropy is a privilege of the wealthy - not everyday people like themselves.

Not true. Today, people of all ages and backgrounds are making a difference in the lives that follow. A charitable bequest in your will or living trust - whether $100 or $1 million - would be appreciated by any nonprofit group. These organizations need financial assistance from people like you in order to continue their good work.

By including a charitable gift in your estate plan for the organizations you support, the impact of your life can be felt and remembered for generations. Make a difference in the lives that follow.
