North Coast Legacy is a public awareness effort to promote charitable giving. Whether you use a will or an estate planning vehicle, your generosity can change so many lives. The time to prepare these documents is now. North Coast Legacy was created to work with our local nonprofit groups and professional advisors in encouraging individuals to make charitable bequests.

Every day, thousands of North Coast residents benefit from local charities. These nonprofit organizations give so much to our community - from helping senior citizens to providing mentors for children to funding the arts to supporting research in the fight against deadly diseases. But they can't operate if we don't give back. Their vital work needs money to support it.

Chances are, you already donate a generous portion of your income to the public benefit organizations of your choice. But have you considered including those organizations in your will - so that you can continue to make a difference for generations to come? North Coast Legacy can help you start this rewarding process.
