Donors often find legacy gifts enable them to use assets that might otherwise be lost to estate, income or capital gains tax.
Whether it's as straight-forward as including the SAE Foundation in your estate or more involved such as making a gift that pays you income for life, legacy gifts allow donors to take care of their families while leaving a legacy for a cause you believe in.
It’s never too early to consider making a planned gift. Make provisions now for the future and rest easy knowing that your wishes are known and will be honored.
Making a planned gift to the SAE Foundation automatically enrolls you in the Siegel Society for Legacy Giving which provides recognition to you now for a gift planned for the future (or you can remain anonymous).
Whatever gift you may choose, a legacy gift to the SAE Foundation is a lasting memorial to your values and interests.
Plan Your Gift
The SAE Foundation established the Siegel Society for Legacy Giving to recognize our special benefactors who support the Foundation's mission by making provisions for planned gifts such as bequests, charitable gift annuities and trusts.
