Ways to Give Back to Palatine Park Foundation

Bequest, Wills, Trusts, and Estates

Whether giving today, in memoriam or sometime in the future, leaving a true legacy is about giving back to others to enjoy the fruits of life that you have been able to enjoy! A bequest is a meaningful way to make a lasting gift and leave a positive and true legacy. The Palatine Park Foundation is a great avenue to make this legacy a reality through various means of pledging current or future assets through your will, estate, securities, real estate or retirement assets. If you would like to discuss a gift or bequest for a specific purpose we would be happy to speak with you.

For more information, please email us and also consult with your financial adviser or legal counsel so your idea of a gift can provide the fullest value and related tax implications possible by law.
