Create a Legacy
One Legacy, Everlasting Impact
The Legacy Circle recognizes community members who have left a gift in their will or estate plan to the Community Foundation of South Puget Sound. Making a legacy gift is easy and flexible and can be adjusted at any time in the future should the circumstances warrant it.
Your generosity as a Legacy Circle donor is a permanent reminder of what you value and stand for. It represents your extraordinary commitment and belief in the right of every community member—across generations—to thrive!
