Planned Giving
A worldwide leader in vision rehabilitation, education, research, prevention and advocacy, our work is made possible by the generosity of forward-thinking contributors.
Lighthouse supporters are diverse people of all ages, from all over the country and of varying means. What they share is an understanding -- sometimes through first-hand experience -- of what it means to cope with vision loss in a visual world. And they share the confidence that through their support of the Lighthouse, they can make a difference.
Planned gifts can take many forms, including:
- bequests
- charitable gift annuities
- gifts of life insurance
- gifts of real estate
- gifts of retirement assets
- charitable remainder trusts
These gifts can provide you with considerable tax benefits and income.
When you make a planned gift to the Lighthouse, you will join The Holt Society, our association for contributors like yourself and receive a number of benefits recognizing your special partnership with the Lighthouse. More than that, you will experience the satisfaction of leaving your own legacy of hope when vision fails.
