Planned Giving

 

legacy

Planned giving, also known as legacy planning or giving, is a form of charitable donation of one’s estate or assets that an individual makes to a nonprofit organization by way of will or other designation. These gifts are typically made by an individual to a cause that is important to them with the assistance of a financial planner. Learn more below about the smart ways to make a difference and leave a legacy.

Build a Legacy with Us

Legacy planning does not require great wealth. What it does require is generosity of spirit – the desire to share what you have for the benefit of others. The Epilepsy Foundation is committed to ensuring that your planned gift makes a real and enduring impact. Every donation touches the life of an individual living with epilepsy.

With the help of generous supporters, the Epilepsy Foundation provides essential programs and services to the 3.4 million Americans who live with epilepsy, as well as their families. By extending support through a planned gift, you make a solemn promise to help us lead the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures, and save lives.
