Keep It Simple -- Make an Impact
At a meeting with our financial planner, we learned something interesting. Everyone knows you can name family members as beneficiaries on a life insurance policy. You may not know that you can also name a charitable organization, such as the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation, as a beneficiary and help further our mission of helping seniors.
A gift of a life insurance policy is a wonderful way to support senior programming at the Senior Center and make a lasting impact on our community. Who knew leaving a legacy could be so simple? Let us know if you would like more information on your legacy options.
