You can support your older neighbors in need beyond your lifetime. By including Citymeals in estate plans or making a deferred gift, you leave a legacy that will nourish homebound elderly New Yorkers for years to come.
The Legacy Society is a group of dedicated supporters who have generously chosen to sustain Citymeals’ work into the future. Their commitment to Citymeals enables us to continue providing nourishing meals, companionship and vital support services to older New Yorkers in need.
Letting us know about your planned gift automatically makes you a valued member of the Legacy Society. Members receive special acknowledgments including recognition, invitations to events and updates on our impact. It’s also a powerful way to share a cause you care about with friends and loved ones.
Bequests and Wills: Consider designating a gift in your will or trust. You can leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or even real estate and stocks.
Sample language for inclusion in a will:
Designate Citymeals as a Beneficiary: Name Citymeals on Wheels as a beneficiary on bank or brokerage accounts, retirement plans, life insurance policies or other financial accounts.
Donor-Advised Funds: If you have a donor-advised fund, you can request that your heirs recommend grants beyond your lifetime to Citymeals.
Making a planned gift is a personal decision, and we're here to help. To learn more about the Citymeals Legacy Society or discuss planned giving options, contact our Development team at development@citymeals.org or call 646-866-6325.
We are able to promise that 100% of your donation will be used for the preparation and delivery of meals, thanks to our partnership with the City of New York, Citymeals board members and certain designated grants for administrative expenses.
