Leave a Lasting Legacy with Planned Giving

Public Law Center is committed to seeking justice for those who need it most. Through our Planned Giving Program, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of those most in need while securing your philanthropic legacy for future generations.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned Giving, also known as legacy giving or gift planning, allows you to support Public Law Center’s mission beyond your lifetime. By including Public Law Center in your estate plans, you can ensure that access to justice remains a reality for underserved communities long into the future.

After making provisions for you, your family and those closest to you, a legacy gift to the Public Law Center will have a meaningful impact on future generations. Such gifts may also be eligible for important charitable income and/or gift or estate tax deductions.

Ways to Give:

There are several ways you can support Public Law Center through planned giving:

  • Bequests: Include Public Law Center in your will or living trust by designating a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
  • Retirement Assets: Designate Public Law Center as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts, such as IRAs or 401(k) plans. You can also make a current gift from a qualified IRA distribution.
  • Life Insurance: Name Public Law Center as a primary or secondary beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
  • Real Estate: Gifts of real estate can be an excellent way to utilize family assets and advance the mission of PLC. A review process is required for each donation.

Benefits of Planned Giving:

In addition to leaving a meaningful legacy, planned giving offers potential tax benefits and the satisfaction of knowing that your generosity will continue to make a difference for years to come.
