LEGACY OF HOPE

Planned Giving

Legacy planning is an important piece of the financial planning puzzle. It’s a thoughtful consideration of what happens to assets and property accrued throughout a lifetime of hard work. Proper planning brings simplicity and peace of mind to your heirs. It also allows you to have a lasting impact on an organization you have passionately supported during your lifetime.

Please consider giving to Boys Hope Girls Hope of Illinois “Legacy of Hope” campaign through your will, trust, IRA, life insurance policy, or other assets (listed below). Contributing a planned gift will help preserve your legacy, reduce or eliminate the tax burden on your heirs, and provide a future for our Scholars. Take the step today to leave a lasting legacy that transforms lives for years to come.
