The Agency and the Board of
Directors is in the process of developing a Foundation
that will act as a mechanism to support programs that
are not maintained by federal or state funding. It
is their goal that The Foundation will become a vital
resource to help sustain the services that help people
to achieve more fulfilling lives. Supporters of
St. Lawrence NYSARC can help to build The Foundation
through gift planning.
Planning a
gift is a worthwhile way to leave a lasting legacy.
We recognize that it is a difficult choice and it is
important to be informed about your financial goals
while beginning the process of planned giving.
Luckily, there are many options available to contribute
a gift to The Foundation of St. Lawrence NYSARC.
One will very likely fit both your economic and
philanthropic interests.

Below
is a listing of a few planned giving choices with brief
descriptions. If you are interested in more
