Seeds for Tomorrow: The Ann’s Place Legacy Circle
Cancer leaves a lasting impact on us. Your generosity strengthens a compassionate community where no one faces cancer alone. A legacy gift extends that support—your heart at work in the lives of future clients.
Ann’s Place honors donors who make planned giving commitments by welcoming them into a special Legacy Circle — Seeds for Tomorrow - a community of individuals dedicated to sustaining the mission far into the future.
In 2018 the Board of Directors created the Ann’s Place Endowment. Its purpose is to supplement our annual fund raising and help endow our programs and our facility for years to come. Planned gifts are placed into the Ann’s Place Endowment.
There are many ways that a donor can make a lasting legacy. Planned gifts - bequests, beneficiary designations or other legacy commitments - ensure that Ann’s Place will remain a haven of hope for decades to come.

What Type of Planned Gift is Right for You?
-
If you are 70.5 or older you can give up to $111,000 from your IRA directly to qualified charitable institutions without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charity rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). This law no longer has an expiration date. You can also use a QCD as your required minimum distribution (RMD) if you are 73.5 or older.
-
A donor may make a bequest or gift through his/her estate by including a provision in a will or living trust, or by naming Ann’s Place, Inc. as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The amount left to Ann’s Place can be expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage of the assets to be given.

Wendee’s Legacy Story
“My relationship with Ann’s Place reaches back to its inception; Ann Olsen was my dearest friend, and in her memory, I have dedicated innumerable hours to support the organization’s critical work. My connection took on new meaning for me in September of 2016 when I received a cancer diagnosis. To say I am passionate about Ann’s Place is an understatement. The agency has had a transformative effect on me and members of my support and wellness groups have echoed similar sentiments. It is my hope that with my planned gift, Ann’s Place will live on in perpetuity.”
