Planned Giving and Creating Your Legacy
Leaving a legacy isn't optional. We will certainly be remembered - it's really a question of how. So, when you think about the legacy you hope to leave, make sure you reflect your values and your hopes and dreams for the future - in other words, what really matters to you. If fighting ALS is important to you, we invite you to consider a gift through your estate or financial plan to The ALS Association.

Tip of the Week
You don't have to be wealthy to be generous.
At The ALS Association, we know many of our friends and supporters want to give generously to support our mission but may not have a chunk of extra cash lying around. That's why we offer techniques that maximize your ability to be generous. For example:
- Give appreciated assets instead of cash.
- Make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust.
- Use life insurance to give from income rather than capital.
- Receive income back from us in return for your contribution.
Want to make a gift that really makes a difference? We're here to help you make it happen.
