A planned gift is a donor's commitment to benefit The Franklin Foundation through a gift that takes effect following their death or after a specific term of years. When you include The Franklin Foundation in your will or other estate plans you provide the finances the organization needs to help power the American spirit of innovation through programs that build smarter kids, giving them great access to already abundant opportunity.
Planned gifts to The Franklin Foundation include:
» Bequests
» Life Insurance Benefits
» Retained Income Gifts
» Retirement Plan Benefits
Besides having the satisfaction of knowing you made a lasting difference for future generations served by our organization, a planned gift also makes you eligible for membership in the Franklin Legacy Circle.
