Shaping the Future: Community Legacy Initiative

Imagine a future where every family in our community has the opportunity to shape their legacy, where the values that matter most endure for generations to come. Unfortunately, many families are unprepared for this responsibility; only 35% have a will, and even fewer include charitable intentions.

A passionate consortium of Columbia River Gorge non-profits believes in the transformative power of community and the legacies we create together, and seeks to shift this narrative one family at a time. On Thursday, March 19th, from 5:30-7:30pm at the Fort Dalles Readiness Center in The Dalles, we warmly invite you to join us for the Community Legacy Initiative.

During this event, you will be able to:

• Meet experts working in financial planning and investing, accounting, law and more
• Hear from a panel of experts on the benefits and how-tos of estate planning
• Receive free resources and handouts to help you plan your financial future
• Learn more about adding charitable gifts into your estate planning

This event is free and aims to educate the community about the profound impact of estate planning, connect individuals and families with experts and empowering tools, and encourage giving to organizations committed to bettering our community. Spots are limited and pre-registration is encouraged. Light snacks, catered by Casa El Mirador, will be provided.

After the event, you will receive information about local non-profts who accept legacy giving contributions so you can connect directly with an organization that interests you. There will also be experts on site that can provide resources around end-of-life care, including advance directive planning.
