Gifts by Will and Living Trusts

Leave a lasting legacy for West Lafayette's parks and recreational spaces through a gift in your will or living trust. By including the West Lafayette Parks and Recreation Foundation in your estate plans, you can support future park improvements, preservation efforts and recreational opportunities for generations to come.

A planned gift allows you to make a meaningful difference in your community without affecting your finances today.

How It Works

Including the Foundation in your will or living trust is a flexible way to support the future of West Lafayette's parks. Benefits may include:

• Maintain control: Continue to manage and use your assets throughout your lifetime.
• Keep your options open: Update or change your gift designation as your circumstances or priorities evolve.
• Explore potential tax benefits: Charitable bequests may reduce the value of your taxable estate, depending on your individual circumstances and applicable tax laws.
• Create a lasting impact: Provide future financial support for parks, programs and recreational opportunities throughout West Lafayette.

Planning Your Legacy

Every planned gift is unique. Whether you choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or another type of charitable gift, your generosity can help preserve and enhance West Lafayette's parks for future generations.

We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor or legal counsel to determine the best approach for you and your family. The Foundation can also work with you and your advisors to provide information and appropriate bequest language that reflects your charitable goals.
