    What Is Planned Giving?

    Leave a legacy gift to the Alzheimer's Association

    Planned giving, also called estate planning, legacy giving or charitable planning, is a gift made through your will, trust, beneficiary designations or other financial resources. Gifts made to the Alzheimer's Association through planned giving often cost you nothing today and will help fund research and community resources now and in the future.

    There are donation opportunities that can help you make a meaningful impact, increase your income and possibly save taxes. Our planned giving team can assist you and your professional advisor in choosing the gift that's right for you.
