Anyone can leave a legacy with Keiro. By making a planned gift and joining Keiro’s Legacy Circle, you can help ensure a brighter future for Japanese American and Japanese older adults and caregivers by supporting Keiro’s long-standing mission to enhance the quality of senior life in Our Community. Legacy Circle members are generous, forward-thinking supporters whose impact will be felt — and remembered — for years to come.

In addition to making gifts through cash donations, there are several meaningful ways to support the sustainability of Keiro’s work over the long term. Many planned giving options offer benefits for both you and Keiro. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor to discuss the potential tax advantages of these options.

Bequests

One of the simplest ways to make a lasting impact is by naming Keiro Services as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. A bequest may be designated as a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate and may offer significant estate tax benefits.

Life Insurance Policy and Retirement Assets

Often overlooked by donors, life insurance policies and retirement assets can be powerful tools for giving. Naming Keiro Services as a partial or full beneficiary of these assets helps sustain our work for future generations.

Life Income Gifts

Life income gifts allow you to make a future gift to Keiro while receiving income during your lifetime. The two most popular life income gift options are charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities.

Complex Gifts

If you own a business, real property, or any other type of complex asset, there may be giving options that support Keiro’s mission while also providing financial benefits to you and your family. Please contact your tax or financial advisor for more information.
