National LEAVE A LEGACY®
The LEAVE A LEGACY® program first began as a grassroots effort in Columbus, Ohio, in 1994. Since LEAVE A LEGACY® was established, a strong army of dedicated and skilled volunteers has launched community programs to help raise awareness about bequest giving in every way possible. Along the way, thousands of people have written wills, and learned what steps to take to leave a bequest to charity.
After an amazing level of public interest and program growth, the National Committee on Planned Giving stepped in to conduct a more far-reaching LEAVE A LEGACY® program. Under NCPG’s guidance, the initiative has expanded across North America, with programs operating in 165 communities in the United States, and 24 in Canada. All programs are sponsored by local planned giving councils, which are groups consisting of professionals who are experts in all types of charitable gifts.

LEAVE A LEGACY® is a national effort to inspire people from all walks of life and all income levels to think beyond their lifespan when doing good works. Imagine how much good could be done if each one of us remembered a favorite charity or cause in our will or estate plan? The impact would be immeasurable!
