Leave Your Legacy

Create Impact for Generations to Come

Does this sound like you?

  • You want your favorite causes to be supported forever.
  • You want specific charities to receive an annual gift in your name.
  • You want to provide a flexible gift that can respond to new community needs in the future.
  • You would like to create a fund that encourages family members to carry on your tradition of giving.
  • You appreciate knowing your wishes will be carried out, forever, with efficiency and care.

You can create a plan that supports the causes you care about, whether it’s a single gift or a fund that will grow and support your causes in perpetuity. There is additional good news if you have multiple causes that are close to your heart. Often, you can ensure that multiple causes are served by a single fund at Gulf Coast. Gulf Coast can customize your plan to meet your needs and interests.

Gulf Coast is built on the principle of perpetuity. We will be here forever—and so will your fund—to carry out your charitable wishes.
