Legacy Giving

Planning ahead now can mean the world to our members down the road. By designating a gift in your will, estate, or retirement fund, you’re investing in an inclusive, diverse society – well into the future.

Legacy gifts take many forms:

1. Will and Estate donations

Designating a donation in your will or estate can both help L’Arche Long Island continue our mission for years to come, as well as provide you with flexibility and freedom with your finances. If you decide to include L’Arche Long Island in your will, please let us know! We’d love to acknowledge and thank you.

2. Annuity and Trust donations

Arranging an annuity or trust, such as a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA), with L’Arche Long Island is a great way to donate a generous gift while also setting up your own tax benefits and annuity income down the road.

3. Beneficiary designations

Designating L’Arche Long Island as a beneficiary is a simple, easy way to arrange meaningful donations well in advance. Designations can be made from retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or other investment accounts. Simply fill out a Change-of-Beneficiary Form with your financial institution and designate the dollar amount or a percentage you’d like to set aside.
