Legacy Giving

Legacy Gifts – Creating Lasting Change

Your legacy gift to NEWS ensures that survivors will have access to safety, support, and healing for generations to come. By including NEWS in your estate plans, you create a powerful and lasting impact that extends far beyond your lifetime.

Types of Legacy Gifts:

  • Bequests: Include NEWS in your will or trust
  • Retirement Accounts: Name NEWS as a beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k)
  • Life Insurance: Designate NEWS as a beneficiary
  • Charitable Gift Annuities: Receive income during your lifetime while supporting NEWS
  • Real Estate: Donate property or include it in your estate plans

Why Legacy Giving Matters: Legacy gifts often represent the largest donations NEWS receives, enabling us to expand services, enhance programs, and ensure no survivor is turned away due to lack of resources. Your gift becomes part of our foundation for the future.

It’s Easier Than You Think: Many legacy gifts require just a simple sentence in your will. Our team can work with you and your financial advisor to explore options that benefit both you and NEWS.
