Leave Your Legacy
Support us in the future by making a planned gift today.
By including the Sebastopol Area Senior Center in your estate plans, you ensure that future generations of seniors continue to receive the resources, support, and community they deserve. A planned gift is a meaningful way to create a lasting legacy that reflects your values and commitment to enriching the lives of seniors.
Wills Bank Account, Retirement Account, or Life Insurance
Many types of planned gifts are surprisingly easy. Including the Sebastopol Area Senior Center as a beneficiary of your bank account, retirement account, or life insurance is as simple as updating your beneficiary designation with the institution or plan administrator. Ask whoever manages these accounts for you to send a beneficiary form. Completing that form may be all you need to designate beneficiaries of these accounts or policies. You can also change or add to your existing designations.
Wills and Estate Plans
Another straightforward way is to name the Sebastopol Area Senior Center as a beneficiary in your will and/or Estate Plan. You can designate how much you want to leave to a beneficiary, whether it be a person(s) or charities. And you can have as many beneficiaries as you want. You can decide how your bequest can be used by the SASC. You can choose from the following, knowing your gift will be aligned with our goals:
- Unrestricted – To be used for the benefit of the Senior Center.
- Restricted – To support a specific program.
- Residuary – To leave all or part of the remainder of your estate to the Senior Center.
- Contingency – To support the Senior Center if you outlive your other beneficiaries
