Imagine a future where every family in our community has the opportunity to shape their legacy, where the values that matter most endure for generations to come. Unfortunately, many families are unprepared for this responsibility; only 35% have a will, and even fewer include charitable intentions.
A united consortium of passionate non-profits including The Next Door Inc., Thrive Hood River, Gorge Grown, Washington Gorge Action Programs (WAGAP), Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC), and the Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC) Foundation believe in the transformative power of community, connection, and the legacies we create together. We invite you to join us for the Community Legacy Initiative on Sunday, March 2nd, from 2-4pm at the Ruins in Hood River.
This event is free and aims to help make estate planning more accessible to everyone, educate the community about the profound importance of preparing your will or trust, connect individuals and families with experts and empowering tools, and, when possible, encourage giving to organizations committed to bettering our community. Spots are limited and pre-registration is encouraged. Light snacks will be provided. You can RSVP here: https://bit.ly/40s4FyY
During this event, you will be able to:
Meet experts working in financial planning, law, and more
Hear from a panel of experts on the benefits and how-tos of estate planning
Receive free resources and handouts to help you plan your financial future
Connect with local non-profits who will be tabling at the event, and
Determine if there is a local non-profit you feel encouraged to charitably add into your estate planning
This isn’t just about financial planning; it’s about the dreams, stories, and love we pass on. What will your legacy be?
