The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
– Pablo Picasso
What is Planned Giving?
A planned gift, also known as a legacy gift, includes bequests, trusts, charitable gift annuities, named endowments and other estate planning vehicles.
You can make a legacy gift by including United Church Homes in your estate plans. Donors who have made a legacy gift to UCH are recognized as Pillar Society members. The Pillar Society recognizes those who have remembered our communities through the use of a planned gift.
