Make a Planned Gift

Impact your community for generations to come. Leave your legacy through a planned gift to Community Action.

How do you want to be remembered? 

Chances are, if you’re here, you’ve asked yourself this question a time or two. You’ve thought about your passions – the causes closest to your heart. And you’ve taken time to consider what the world will look like for future generations…how you might make it better, brighter, and kinder.

Making a planned gift to support the work of Community Action is a powerful way to impact generations to come. By committing to a planned gift today, you will become a member of our Legacy Circle, a special group of donors who will play a significant role in advancing the work of Community Action well into the future. It’s the perfect way to make a big impact for tomorrow without affecting your financial situation today.
