- Bequests in a will or trust
- Retirement assets or life insurance designations
- Charitable remainder trusts or annuities

“After the comforting, compassionate, and welcoming manner my wife and I experienced at Gilda’s Club, I felt this organization was needed long term to keep supplying those fundamental concepts, that Gilda herself would take pride in. That’s when I made the decision to make the legacy gift to Gilda’s Club.
Sadly my wife did pass several years later, but the gift in her memory lives on.”
