It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life.

The people of East Central Illinois are known for their generosity. But not many area people leave gifts to charity in their wills or estates. With that in mind, area managers of wealth and non-profit organizations established the Planned Giving Information Consortium (PGIC) of East Central Illinois devoted to educating the general public about philanthropy in general and about planned giving in specific. The Little Theatre On The Square is a member of and supports the efforts of this consortium.

Leave A Legacy - PGIC has embarked on an initiative that will help further its mission to educate the public and promote the cause of charitable giving through bequests, lifetime giving with retention of income, and estate plans. Leave A Legacy's goal is to remind people that they can make a difference in the lives that follow theirs.

Frequently asked questions: How do I leave a gift for my favorite nonprofit organization? It's easy. You can arrange for a gift several ways. The most common is through a charitable gift in a will or living trust. Many people set aside a certain dollar amount. Others leave a percentage of their estate or any assets left over after their family has been provided for. Some people donate something they own, like a car or their home. Others leave a paid life insurance policy, retirement account or other financial investment

Do I tell the organization that I have left a gift? That is up to you. Nonprofit organizations like to know in advance so they can recognize your generosity. They can also tell you about specific opportunities for giving.

Must I have a sizable estate in order to leave a gift?

Everyone can leave a gift. 'Estate' is simply a word used to describe any amount of money, property or personal belongings that you may have at the time of your death. Most people leave an estate when they die, even though they may not have a great deal of wealth. Many gifts are less than $1,000.

How do I leave a gift to a specific organization?

A charitable bequest will not take effect unless you state your intention in your will or living trust. Without a will you may lose control over your belongings after death. Then, your property and finances are settled according to state laws, whether or not they coincide with your wishes.

Who can help me arrange for a gift?

If you have a professional that you are working with like a financial planner, lawyer, accountant or insurance agent, please talk with them about leaving a gift. A professional can tell you about the tax benefits of planned gifts. You can also call a nonprofit organization directly for assistance.
