Legacy Circle

The Legacy Circle

The Legacy Circle is unique group of individuals that have remembered the Highlands Center in their estate plans. Gift planning does not require great wealth nor does it need to be complicated. From bequests to charitable gift annuities, there are many ways to become part of the Legacy Circle.

Legacy Circle members are also invited to special exclusive programming throughout the year. It is our way of saying “thank you” including us in your estate plans. You can support our mission beyond the grave—contact us to learn more.

If you are interested in including HCNH in your estate planning, please contact our Executive Director Sarah Vincent at (928) 776-9550 or svincent@highlandscenter.org

Giving through Estate Planning

Bequests

The simplest gift is a bequest in your will or trust that directs specific assets or a percentage of your estate to HCNH.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A simple contract guarantees you a fixed income for life in exchange for the remaining residuum after your death benefiting HCNH’s endowment. Annuity rates are set by the American Council on Gift Annuities.

POD Provisions

Payable on death provisions are effective for the seamless transfer of certain assets such as retirement accounts, bank accounts, and investment accounts.

Retirement Plan & Insurance Beneficiary Designations

You can designate HCNH as the beneficiary of a retirement plan such as an IRA or 401(k) or a life insurance policy. At death, the assets transfer to the HCNH, reducing estate and income taxes.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

Through an irrevocable trust, you receive fixed or variable payments for your lifetime or a term of years. The reminder passes to HCNH’s endowment.
