Other Ways To Give Back

Planned Giving
A Gift in Your Will or Living Trust
Interested in helping Easter Seals create pathways to opportunity for children and adults with disabilities but feel overwhelmed by the thought of writing another check or giving up your assets today? A simple, flexible and versatile way to ensure we can continue our work for years to come is a gift in your will or living trust, known as a charitable bequest.

  • Cash   --  A gift of cash is one of the most popular ways to support us after your lifetime. You may gift a specified sum of money or a percentage of your estate.
  • Appreciated Securities  -- (Stocks)  A gift in your will or trust of securities often allows you to make larger gifts than you could during your lifetime.
  • Real Estate  --  avoid the administrative hassles of selling real estate during your lifetime, give it to us through
  • a bequest.
  • Tangible Personal Property -- Leave your legacy with a gift of antiques, stamp/coin collections or works of art.
