PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE The benefit of a bequest

Thank you for your generous support of our organization and our charitable mission. Your gifts are an important and significant affirmation of your trust and lasting confidence in our organization. With your help, our work will continue well into the future.

As someone who plans well and looks to the future, we would like to ask you to consider complementing your annual gifts with a long-term investment in our mission. You can increase the impact of your giving and leave a lasting legacy by including a testamentary gift, sometimes referred to as a bequest, to Hartnell College Foundation in your will or estate plan.

The benefit of a bequest is that it will not change your lifestyle. You can choose to leave cash, stock, real estate, a percentage of your IRA, or your estate to Hartnell College Foundation in your will, while also continuing to control and use your assets. Should you choose to include us in your plans, your gift will make a lasting difference to those we serve.

If you need assistance with estate planning, we have resources that can help you and your attorney.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 831-444-2446 or email me at jcruz@hartnell.edu with questions or to let us know how we can serve you.

ENDOWMENTS Plan for your life’s journey

We ask that you consider making a gift to fund a life income arrangement, such as a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder unitrust. The benefits to you may include lifetime payments and tax savings. After you have received all payments, the remainder assists us in furthering our cause.

To make an even greater impact on our work, you can designate your gift to our endowment. Contact us for a free illustration of these plans to see how you could benefit and create a lasting legacy to sustain our work.

Call or email us so we can give you directions for a smooth journey. Contact our VP of Advancement and Development/Executive Director for the Foundation, Jackie Cruz at jcruz@hartnell.edu or call 831-444-2446.
