The Legacy of Hope Society is a special group of friends who have made a “legacy” gift, or charitable bequest, by naming City of Hope in their will or trust.
These gifts create a legacy of hope, ensuring that City of Hope has the resources needed to continue developing new treatments for cancer for generations to come.
Who can join the Society?
Anyone who has named City of Hope in his or her will or other estate plans and has let us know their intent.
Is a minimum gift required?
No, any amount is appreciated. We simply wish to know of your intentions so we can properly acknowledge your thoughtfulness.
Benefits
Joining the Legacy of Hope Society has a number of rewarding benefits:
- Recognition
Your name will be listed on the Windows of Hope at City of Hope. (You may choose to remain anonymous.)
- Cancer Briefings
We’ll keep you informed of breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.
- The opportunity to pass on your values, not just your assets
A will is more than a means for taking care of you heirs. By including a bequest to City of Hope, your will can also reflect what matters to you.
- City of Hope gift planning officers
They’ll work in close contact with your trusted legal and financial advisors to design a charitable giving plan that meets your goals and family needs.
Types of bequests
You can choose either an Outright bequest or Residual bequest. For specific language that can be inserted into your will or living trust, please contact us.
