ESTABLISH A LASTING LEGACY THROUGH PLANNED GIVING

Planned gifts provide creative and flexible strategies for you to pursue your charitable and financial goals, while also supporting SWIRCA & More. While some planned gifts provide life-long income and substantial tax benefits to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques that maximize the gift for the charity or future heirs and minimize the impact on the donor's estate.

With thoughtful planning and dedicated support, you can leave a lasting legacy that is not only important to you and your family but also for generations to come.

SWIRCA has a well-earned reputation for providing services and solutions to individuals in need.  As a nonprofit organization that strives to fulfill the mission "Enhancing opportunites for independent living," SWIRCA focuses its efforts on empowering individuals of all ages to live with independence, dignity, and purpose in their homes and communities. A planned gift is not only a gift to SWIRCA, it's an investment in protecting the most vulnerable amongst us. 

While an estate plan may sound like something only wealthy individuals can consider, the truth is that almost everyone should have an estate plan. Estate planning ensures that your assets will be managed and dispersed as you wish after your passing.
