Planned Giving

Make an impact today, tomorrow and for the future.

Give Access to the Next Generation

As a gift to you, we’ve partnered with FreeWill to make it easy for you to create a will or trust at no cost.

Why I Give

Gail Rogers, NCGA Past President,
Youth on Course Scholarship Donor and Long-Time Supporter

“Where else can you donate $5 and have a positive impact on a youth’s life for 4 to 5 hours on any given day? They are getting exercise, learning to interact with other players of all age groups and skill sets, reinforcing the value of personal integrity AND having fun. I cannot think of a better place to invest than in the future leaders of society.”

We’re here to help you meet your goals!

Our team would be happy to speak with you in confidence about your giving goals, with no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is my estate big enough to leave a planned gift?

    Yes! Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated. Many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate, which scales up or down with your estate size.

  • Does it cost anything to plan my estate?

    We’ve partnered with FreeWill to help you make a will or trust at no cost to you. You can use this to complete your plans, or you may choose to use the same tools to get your affairs in order before visiting an attorney (who is likely to have a fee associated with finalizing your plans).

  • Can I edit my documents after I'm done?

    Yes. You are always free to revise or update your estate plans.

  • Is my private information secure with FreeWill?

    Yes! FreeWill will never share your personal information without your permission.

  • Can my gift remain anonymous?

    Yes. Knowing in advance about your intentions helps us to ensure that your gift is used as you desire, but you can remain anonymous if you prefer not to share the details of your gift.
