Supporting Legacy Giving in Hampton Road

You can't take it with you, according to the famous adage, but the  majority of Americans are planning to do just that. That's because over  half (55 percent) of all adult Americans do not have a will. And only a  fraction of those that have a will make a bequest to charity. To many of  your nonprofit's best friends and donors, this means they have no say  over issues involving their assets after they die, and they will not  receive the gratification of knowing that a portion of their assets will  create a legacy with their favorite nonprofit(s). The Hampton Roads  Gift Planning Council supports efforts to develop personalized plans for  the distribution of estate assets.
