Planned Giving

“One generation plants the trees, another gets the shade.” –Chinese Proverb

Estate planning is a powerful way to express your values, care for your family, and ensure a lasting impact on your community. Creative gift planning can help you leave a legacy that continues working toward creating sustainability and ensure that there is ‘shade’ for generations to come.

A few examples of ways to make a planned gift:

  • Name Sightline Institute in your will. View sample bequest language (pdf) for inclusion in your will.
  • Make Sightline Institute a beneficiary to your IRA or life insurance policy.
  • Name Sightline Institute as the beneficiary of a charitable remainder trust.

There are many other ways you can make a charitable gift through estate planning. If you are interested in learning more about making a planned gift, or have already included Sightline Institute in your plans, please contact Migee Han at 206-447-1880 x118.
