Leave A Legacy

The LEAVE A LEGACY® program is the public awareness campaign conducted by the National Committee on Planned Giving®. LEAVE A LEGACY programs across the country are educating the public about the benefits of leaving bequests to charity in wills and estate plans.  The goal of the LEAVE A LEGACY program is to increase the quantity of charitable legacy giving across North America. Currently, there are active LEAVE A LEGACY programs in 165 communities in the United States and 24 in Canada. All programs are sponsored by local Planned Giving Councils, (PPP® chapters). 

LEAVE A LEGACY programs are community-based and help the general public to learn about charitable giving through a will or from an estate. The LEAVE A LEGACY program does NOT solicit gifts for any particular organization. 

Rather, the program is a broad-based community campaign whose message is spread by all types of nonprofit groups including social service and arts organizations, churches, hospitals and educational institutions and by professionals who assist donors with charitable estate planning. These partners help promote the message that people from all walks of life have the ability to “make a difference in the lives that follow” by leaving a charitable legacy.
