Consider leaving a legacy gift that will help ensure we meet seniors’ needs for years to come.

The Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation (TSC&F) is supported in part through generous gifts. Some donors have chosen to plan a gift that will come to TSC&F after their lifetime and will carry on their legacy of generosity and compassion from then on. Their support is an expression of their desire to help others. We call these Legacy Gifts.

Making decisions now guarantees that your estate plans – and your legacy – support the Tallahassee Senior Center. Your generosity ensures the continuation of TSC&F’s quality services. Each gift makes a difference for senior adults.

Common legacy gift options may include a specific dollar amount or a percentage through:
Retirement Plans · Bank and Investment Accounts · Bequest by Will · Gift of Life Insurance
Gift of Appreciated Stock · Charitable Lead Trust · Charitable Remainder Trust 

The Legacy Circle includes donors who name the Tallahassee Senior Center Foundation as a beneficiary of a planned gift, which helps ensure quality services for generations of seniors. We celebrate those individuals who have chosen to create a lasting legacy at the Senior Center. If you have already included the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation in your estate plans, it is helpful to receive written documentation.
