Lacasa gives a head start in life to people who are interested in achieving a better way of going forward. Legacy programs build on that impact by essentially forming an endowment, a foundation that allows organizations doing good work to continue helping others in a more meaningful and beneficial way.”

We Understand Planned Giving

Making a legacy gift is personal. We understand the questions and uncertainty that can come with planning your gift. Lacasa works with donors to ensure their generosity reflects their values and supports the community in meaningful ways

A Simple Path to Lasting Impact

  • Reflect on your goals — Decide the impact you want to make in the community.
  • Choose the right gift — Explore options that match your intentions and financial plan.
    • Bequest in a will
    • Retirement accounts
    • Living or Revocable Trust
    • Charitable Remainder Trust
    • Other gifts (life insurance, real estate)
  • Work with us to act — We’ll guide you through the steps to make your legacy official and meaningful.

Legacy Circle members are honored with invitations to special events and updates about the long-term impact of their generosity.

The Difference Your Legacy Can Make

Legacy gifts, or planned giving, help sustain the programs and services that make neighborhoods stronger. Whether through bequests, charitable trusts, or other planned gifts, your generosity ensures that Lacasa can continue empowering residents, strengthening neighborhoods, and building vibrant, resilient communities. Every gift — large or small — leaves a footprint that supports people long after it’s made.

Flexible Giving Options

Your legacy should reflect your values and intentions. You can structure your gift in a way that works best for you:

  • Specific dollar amount – Give a fixed amount from your estate.
  • Percentage of estate or assets – Gift a portion of your estate to support the community.
  • Residuary gift – Leave what remains after other gifts to create lasting impact.

Direct Your Impact

Decide where your generosity will make the greatest difference:

  • Unrestricted – Supports the areas of greatest need.
  • Restricted – Designate your gift for specific programs, such as:
    • Housing initiatives
    • Financial empowerment programs
    • Community development

Whatever structure you choose, we’ll work with you to ensure your gift reflects your intentions and leaves a lasting impact in the community.
