Circle of Life is a gift planning program for donors making a charitable bequest in personal wills. You can leave a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or a certain number of stock options to Palmer Memorial Foundation as a bequest.

Every year, the Palmer Memorial Foundation hosts fundraisers that are essential for the Foundation’s long-term success. Attendance at these events ensures that the Foundation continues to grow.

Multi-year pledges allow you to make a larger gift and to decide when you want to give, providing the foundation with a predictable base of support.

Planned gifts offer several benefits, including providing an ongoing income stream, easing your current tax liability and reducing capital gains tax or future estate tax. Deferred gifts can support the foundation without impact on your income or lifestyle. You can designate the foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets or life insurance policies.

Planned gifts also include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, life estate contracts, charitable lead trusts, and pooled income funds. Please contact your financial advisor for details. Bequests from a properly executed will, living trust or other specific trusts will be accepted in accordance with the donor's wishes and the foundation’s mission and purpose.
