Wills Week!

10/18/2021

West Virginia Governor, Jim Justice, has declared October 18-24 Wills Week!

Leaving a legacy gift can have a big impact over time and make a difference.

Some people think they must choose between leaving a gift to their family or their favorite non-profit.

You can do both, and some charitable gifts may actually save your family money by decreasing inheritance taxes.

A simple gift provision in your Will can make a difference in many lives.
Leave A Legacy Today
  • Make sure you have an up-to-date will (or living trust) that reflects your charitable objectives. Without these documents, you surrender control of your property and assets to the courts.
  • Contact your financial advisor (a financial planner, lawyer or accountant) and ask for help in establishing a charitable gift.
  • Think beyond cash – you can leave stocks, real estate, insurance policies, and personal property to charitable organizations.
  • Make Beckley Area Foundation a beneficiary of your life insurance, pension plan or IRA.

BAF's Latest Legacy Gifts

Leave a Legacy is a way for individuals to leave a charitable bequest to the organizations they value most. All types of nonprofit groups, including social service and arts organizations, churches, hospitals and educational institutions can benefit from charitable bequests. BAF has received $8.8 million in gifts as a result of charitable bequests.
 
Here are some of the most recent charitable bequests BAF has received:

John W. Eye Family Educational Fund - BAF recently received a legacy gift of $25,000 from Gladys Eye Lafferty to support her family's scholarship fund in honor of her father.

Mac's Memorial Toy Fund - Reta H. Davis left BAF a legacy gift of $189,000 that was designated for Mac's Toy Fund.

Peggy Ann Schrader Fund - A legacy gift of over $70,000 was left to BAF by Mr. Ralph Schrader in memory of his wife, Peggy Ann. This fund is a donor designated fund to support the Raleigh County Commission on Aging with an annual distribution.
