Begin My Giving Legacy
Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are typically made from assets in your estate rather than from disposable income, and may come to fruition after your lifetime. Loyal supporters like you have made a lasting difference in the lives of young people by including High Desert Council in their will or estate plan.
Create your legacy with a gift that benefits you and High Desert Council by viewing our options on the Planned Giving Page.
