In the grand narrative of our lives, we often find ourselves contemplating the kind of footprint we want to leave. How can we ensure our lives continue to affect others positively, long after our time has passed? The answer lies in the powerful act of creating a legacy gift.

Get to Know a Few of Our Legacy Members
Like a lot of older people, I have a limited income. Though I regularly donate to several charities, including Lift UP, I have to balance philanthropy with my current and projected needs. However, at some point, I will have no further needs of my own. I have no children to provide for, and my siblings are financially secure. Because I know how much good Lift UP will continue to do in the future, including it in my will was an easy decision.

As a founder of this organization, it is important to me that it continues its mission of improving lives with innovative programs that address community needs as they arise. My family joins me in donating to Lift UP and supports my decision to include it in my estate plan.
