Legacy giving refers to donations that individuals make to a nonprofit organization, such as a church or charity, as part of their estate planning. This type of giving typically involves bequests made through a will or trust, where a donor designates a portion of their assets to be given to the organization upon their death. Legacy giving allows individuals to leave a lasting impact on the organizations they care about, often providing significant financial support for future initiatives and programs. It can include various forms of assets, such as cash, property, stocks, or other investments.
