legacy society

DuPage Foundation’s Legacy Society honors those generous, forward-thinking donors who made a commitment to secure DuPage County’s future by including the Foundation in their estate plans. These planned gifts can do something truly transformative in the community and for the causes they love most.

You can create a lasting legacy by utilizing a will, living trust, charitable remainder trust, charitable gift annuity, insurance policy or qualified retirement plan. Our role is to receive, administer, and provide ongoing stewardship of your planned gift to ensure your intentions are honored.
