Leave a legacy of love for LGBTQ+ youth and families.

When you include Encircle in your estate plans, you help ensure LGBTQ+ young people and their families have somewhere to turn for generations to come. Your legacy gift can become therapy, safe spaces, trusted adults, family support, and life-affirming community long into the future. Planned giving is one of the most powerful ways to protect the services young people need before a crisis becomes a tragedy.

Gift in a will or trust

A gift in your will or trust is one of the most common ways to leave a legacy. You can give a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after your loved ones are cared for.

Beneficiary designation

You can name Encircle as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, bank account, or investment account. This can be a simple way to make a meaningful future gift outside of your will.

Donor-advised fund legacy gift

If you have a donor-advised fund, you may be able to name Encircle as a successor beneficiary or recommend a grant today. This can help extend your giving values into the future.

Stock or appreciated securities

A gift of stock or appreciated securities may allow you to support Encircle while potentially avoiding capital gains taxes. This can be a powerful way to give during your lifetime or as part of your estate planning.

IRA or retirement account gift

Some donors choose to support Encircle through retirement assets, including IRA beneficiary designations or qualified charitable distributions. These gifts may offer tax advantages depending on your circumstances.

Real estate or other assets

Some donors choose to give real estate, business interests, or other assets as part of their legacy planning. Encircle would be glad to talk with you and your advisors about whether this type of gift is possible.
