What will your legacy be?

What difference do you want to make, not just this year, but decades and generations from now? By including your favorite nonprofit or charitable cause in your estate plan, you can support the issues you care about most and create a personal legacy that will live on forever.

The process is also not as difficult as you may think. The San Diego Foundation can advise you on the most effective solutions to ensure your financial and philanthropic legacy is enhanced through responsible and effective investment strategies, and protected in perpetuity.
