Planned giving is a broad term that can be described as an activity utilized by donors and charities that integrates sound personal financial and estate planning concepts that are designed to provide mutual short-term and long-term benefits.

Options for planned giving are many and, while a bequest in a will is the most common, others such as life insurance and retirement plan assets are other attractive planned giving options.

Your planned gift to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation can be a significant, meaningful way for you to positively impact the lives of people affected by cutaneous lymphoma now and in the future.  The people you help may or may not ever know you, but they will be grateful for the life-changing legacy you leave.

As your partner in planned giving, we’ll help you realize your financial goals now and carry forward your charitable spirit in the years ahead.  Please also remember that every gift of any size is important and will help us make sure that each person with cutaneous lymphoma gets the best care possible.
