The Power of Legacy Gifts for LUM

It’s a Win-Win for YOU, LUM & Our Neighbors

Legacy gifts offer a profound opportunity for donors to make a lasting impact on Lafayette Urban Ministry while securing their personal legacy. By including LUM in your estate plans through bequests, trusts, or other planned giving vehicles, you ensure that future generations benefit from the essential services and programs LUM provides.

These gifts provide crucial long-term support, enabling LUM to sustain its mission of tackling basic human needs and uplifting the people of our community.

Beyond the financial benefits such as estate tax deductions, reduced estate taxes, and a Qualified Charitable Distribution, legacy giving allows donors to leave a mark on the causes they care about deeply.

For LUM, legacy gifts are a cornerstone of financial stability and strategic growth. They empower LUM to plan for the future, innovate in program development, and expand its impact. Whether supporting existing initiatives or launching new programs to meet evolving community needs, legacy gifts enable LUM to remain responsive and effective in serving the most vulnerable members of our community. Your decision to leave a legacy gift to also reflects your commitment to creating a more compassionate and equitable society for all.
