Legacy League
Leave a lasting legacy of impact on the lives of local foster youth!
The Yavapai CASA for Kids Legacy League honors individuals who are dedicated to ensuring youth in and who are aging out of foster care have their needs met and everything they need for success, for generations to come, by providing future support to the Yavapai CASA for Kids Foundation through planned giving.
What is Planned or Legacy Giving
Legacy/planned giving is the process in which a donor or potential donor creates a financial or estate plan where they formally decide to give something of value to an organization at a future date.
Oftentimes, gifts are planned through a will so that the organization receives the donation at the time of the donor’s passing. However, planned gifts can be made while a donor is still living, and they may receive tax incentives for it. Examples of these types of gifts include annuities and retirement funds.
