LEARN HOW YOUR PLANNED GIFT CAN HELP THE AMERICAN LEGION
Pat* and Shelly were recently married. They had both been dedicated volunteers at their favorite charity for many years. They wanted to make certain the charity's programs continued even after they were gone.
Pat: “We appreciated the organization's work. We hoped to register our commitment and support by making a gift that would last well into the future.”
Shelly: “A staff member at the organization asked us to consider making a gift to the endowment, a fund that served as a permanent source of income for the organization's projects.”
Pat: “I liked that giving to the endowment would help the charity continue its programs on an ongoing basis.”
Shelly: “I also felt that the gift would provide a legacy for us. We were both thrilled that our gift would keep on giving to a cause we love.”
When you make an endowment gift, your gift is maintained in perpetuity and creates a lasting, meaningful difference. If you would like to learn more, please contact us. We would be happy to work with you to structure a gift to meet your charitable goals.

Editor’s note: Among The American Legion’s endowment funds is the Veterans & Children Foundation, National Commander Jim LaCoursiere’s top fundraising priority, which provides vital support for military and veteran parents in unexpected financial crises and support for service officers in their efforts to obtain care and due benefits and opportunities of disabled veterans and families.
The American Legion’s Planned Giving program is a way of establishing your legacy of support for the organization while providing for your current financial needs.
