Robert M. Barr Legacy Circle

We recognize those who have made bequests in their wills or other planned gifts in support of the CSO long past their lifetime, while realizing substantial benefits for themselves. Your planned gift can achieve personal goals, enhance your financial security, and help to sustain the CSO for generations to come.

Bequests: You can make a planned gift to the CSO in your will or revocable living trust. If you already have a will, it is not necessary to rewrite your entire will to make a bequest to the CSO.

Charitable Gift Annuities provide you with regular fixed payments annually (an annuity) for life in exchange for transferring assets to the CSO. 

Charitable Remainder Trusts are agreements between you and a trustee that can provide fixed or variable income to meet your specific financial needs, at the termination of which the remaining assets are passed to the CSO.

IRAS and qualified Retirement Plans like 401(k)s are some of the best assets to leave to a charity. You may also designate the CSO as owner and/or beneficiary of a Life Insurance Policy.
