This August, during Make-A-Will-Month, take the time to reflect on what means the most: caring for your loved ones and having a legacy that lives on. Your will helps carry on your story, allowing you to be the reason that children’s dreams come true.
While your priority is providing for your family, many people are surprised to learn that they can also leave a lasting impact on future generations through a charitable gift.
A gift to Changing Lives with Legacy, Catholic Education Arizona’s philanthropic division, in your will is a simple way to help provide life-changing scholarships for K-12 underserved, disabled, and foster students in Arizona, while still ensuring your loved ones are cared for first. You can decide what works best for your family and your future. Whether you choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a remaining portion after your loved ones have been provided for, every effort helps families receive the gift of a lifetime.
One of the greatest benefits of a gift, also known as a charitable bequest, is its flexibility. Your assets remain yours throughout your life, allowing you to revise your plans as your circumstances or priorities may change. Your legacy can reflect your values while making a lasting difference.
For 30 years Catholic Education Arizona has awarded 165,000 scholarships, changing lives one scholarship at a time. By including Catholic Education Arizona in your estate plans, you help ensure that children have access to an education rooted in faith, academic excellence, and opportunity for years to come.
This Make-A-Will Month, consider the legacy you want to leave. A gift in your will can help shape future leaders.
