Personal and impactful planned giving

Create your legacy

Two people with an advisor

The causes you have supported during your lifetime are an important part of your story, giving us a glimpse into what matters most to you. By making a future charitable gift with GCF through your will, retirement plan assets, life insurance, or other future resources, you can continue your support of nonprofits you care about long after your lifetime.

You also have the flexibility of giving non-cash assets, including stocks and bonds, real estate and personal property to enhance your lasting impact.

For generous people and professional advisors

Let’s craft a legacy, together.

Contact Michele Carey, CAP®, Vice President, Philanthropic Strategies at 513-768-6171 or [email protected].
