Legacy & Planned Giving
Shape the Future. Leave a Legacy of Inclusion.
Why Legacy Giving Matters
Planned giving is more than a financial decision, it’s a lasting statement of your values.
By including Columbia Ability Alliance in your will, trust, estate plan, or life insurance policy, you are ensuring that individuals with unique abilities have access to the tools, support, and opportunities they need for years to come.
It’s a powerful way to leave the world a little more inclusive, equitable, and compassionate.
Ways to Create a Legacy
- Include a Gift in Your Will or Trust: Designate Columbia Ability Alliance as a beneficiary of a fixed amount or percentage of your estate.
- Name Us in Your Life Insurance or Retirement Plan: Make Columbia Ability Alliance the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, IRA, or retirement account.
- Create a Charitable Remainder Trust: Support our mission while providing income to loved ones during their lifetime.
Real-Life Impact Examples
- $5,000 from a life insurance policy can fund job training and personal development for multiple adults with disabilities.
- $10,000 in planned giving could establish a scholarship or fund a year of inclusive youth programming at Nexus Youth Club.
- A gift of real estate could provide years of sustainable support for our Community Center operations.
