The Legacy Circle
The Legacy Circle is an honorary group that recognizes the generosity of individuals who include the OWC Foundation in their trust or will.
Bequests through wills and other planned gifts such as a charitable remainder trust are the fastest growing way for people to demonstrate philanthropic support.
The Legacy Circle at OWC is a special way to acknowledge a donor's contribution, if they choose, while the donor is living. Disclosure of such gifts is at the discretion of the donor. It's as easy as providing a copy of your will or trust document that identifies the gift made to OWC.
Your membership in the OWC Legacy Circle can be achieved through one of the following:
- Name the OWC Foundation to receive a bequest through your will.
- Establish a charitable remainder trust that designates the OWC Foundation to receive an irrevocable gift.
- Name the OWC Foundation as a beneficiary of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), Qualified Retirement Plan or Brokerage Account.
- Make a gift of real estate to the OWC Foundation and retain a life-interest for yourself and spouse.
- Make a gift of a paid-up life insurance policy or name the OWC Foundation as a contingent beneficiary of your life insurance policy.
