TNLA Foundation Legacy Society - A Gift Through Your Will or Estate
|
The TNLA Legacy Society was formed to honor the individuals and families that have made long-term commitments to the TNLA Foundation through planned gifts such as bequests and charitable trusts, established a fund at the Foundation that is either permanent or ultimately benefits The Foundation’s Unrestricted Endowment Fund, or have utilized The Foundation’s resources to develop some other type of planned charitable gift.
Our community is already the beneficiary of hundreds of gifts entrusted to the TNLA Foundation by generously-minded individuals and families. Sometimes, gifts go unrecognized because they come at the end of a Donor’s life. The Legacy Society provides a way for the TNLA Foundation to recognize and thank Donors during their lifetimes as well as honor their memory after death. |
