What is “Legacy Giving”?

A legacy gift is a way for you to develop a long-lasting positive impact on Ocoee Region youth.

Often called planned giving, your legacy gift helps ensure future generations of youth will have the programs, resources and guidance to help them achieve academic success, grow in character and citizenship, make healthy life choices, and foster the creativity and skills they need to reach their full potential.

Legacy giving is also unique in that it allows anyone to make a substantial contribution to Boys & Girls Clubs of the Ocoee Region (BGCOcoee) regardless of income or financial status. It is a way to level the playing field, giving everyone a chance to become a philanthropist and make a difference. And it provides significant financial benefits to you as well. Here’s how: Some legacy gifts provide lifelong income to the donor (yes, you read that correctly). Other gift plans significantly reduce taxes that would otherwise take a big chunk out of your loved ones’ inheritance—providing for both your heirs and BGCOcoee in ways that maximize the gift while minimizing its impact on your estate.

Wills/Bequests

Whether you designate a specific amount or leave a percentage of your estate, remembering BGCOR in your will or bequest is a meaningful way to ensure your legacy gift will empower BGCOR’s work far into the future.

Charitable Gift Annuities

Turn your generosity into lifetime income! Instead of choosing between your philanthropic goals and financial security, CGAs allow you to receive fixed payments for life in exchange for a donation that benefits children in your community.

Real Estate

Leave a legacy by gifting one of your most significant non-cash assets—real estate—all while enjoying a tax deduction and avoiding capital gains tax! Bonus: You can even avoid the hassle of selling. Just deed the property directly to BGCOR.

“I am very proud that my support—through donations as well as my planned gift—for Boys & Girls Clubs of the Ocoee Region, will forever tie my personal legacy to the Club's legacy. I consider this to be a great honor.”

“It was an easy decision to include the Club in my estate planning. You don’t need to be a certain age. You don’t need to be wealthy. You only need to believe in the value the Club offers and want to offer that to more kids.”
