Create a Legacy

Would you like to leave a legacy of hope and new beginnings to the Santa Barbara community by remembering New Beginnings in your estate plans? It is through the vision and foresight of dedicated supporters like you that the future financial viability of New Beginnings will be secured. Future gift provisions may include:

  • Bequests in wills and trusts, with no money out of pocket now
  • Simple Beneficiary Designations in retirement and insurance plans
  • Payable on Death (POD) designations to New Beginnings on checking or savings accounts
  • Irrevocable provisions in Charitable Remainder Trusts and Charitable Lead Trusts.

Future gifts of homes, other real property and assets like valuable artwork are also welcome.

Always consult with your estate attorney and financial managers to select the best legacy gift option to benefit yourself, your family, and New Beginnings. We also provide sample bequest language you can give to your attorney.
