How to Join
Joining the Legacy Society is a simple, two-step process. First, arrange for a planned gift to the Foundation. Second, inform the Foundation by submitting the Legacy Society form. These forms are also available at the Foundation office.
Leaving a gift is easy. Bequests from a will or trust are the most common way to leave a gift to the Foundation. Some people set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of the estate or assets left over after providing for their families. Others have made the Foundation the beneficiary of 401K/IRA plans or insurance policies, or have established a Charitable Gift Annuity or a Charitable Remainder Trust in favor of the Foundation. All qualify a person or couple for membership in the Society.
Your gift will be completely confidential. We will not ask how much is being left to the Foundation. You are, however, encouraged to discuss your gifts with us to make sure we comply with your wishes, because your gift will be endowed and grants from it will be made in perpetuity. If you would like to let us know the name you would choose for your Fund and your plans for its distribution, we will file this information confidentially. Then, you are assured that your plans will be followed exactly as you have outlined them to us. Your instructions to us can be changed at any time with a simple phone call to the office.
Finally… Thank you. We are so pleased, through the Legacy Society, to recognize the people who are planning for gifts today that will provide significant benefits to our community in the future. Because of the generosity of people like you, Oceana County will continue to be a wonderful place to call home now and for generations to come!
