FAQ
Not at all. Planned giving is about intention, not size. Many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate, a specific asset, or name The Up Center as a beneficiary of a retirement or insurance plan. Every gift, no matter the amount, creates lasting impact.
Yes. Most planned gifts are flexible and can be updated as your life circumstances change. We encourage you to review your plans regularly with your advisors to make sure they reflect your wishes.
No. We are not able to provide tax, legal, or financial advice. We strongly recommend you consult your attorney, financial planner, or tax professional to determine the best giving option for you. We are, however, happy to answer questions about our mission and the impact of your future gift.
Donors who notify us of their planned gift are welcomed into our Legacy Givers group. With your permission, we recognize your commitment publicly to inspire others—but we also honor gifts made anonymously.
