Who can make a legacy gift?

It’s a common misunderstanding that only the wealthy make planned gifts to charities. In fact, anyone can make a planned gift – whether as a percentage bequest or fixed amount in a will, or as a beneficiary designation for a financial account or life insurance policy.

For many donors, a planned gift is an opportunity to make a larger contribution to our mission of protecting compassion and empathy in patient care. If you designate even a small percent of your estate’s assets, a planned gift will have an important impact for the Schwartz Center. One gift alone could provide access to Schwartz Center programs for an under-resourced hospital or clinic for a year. Or it could help design and implement new channels to bring Schwartz Center resources to our members. The impact is substantial, and it is lasting.
