Leave a Legacy of Caring
A gift in your will helps The Caring Place serve even more neighbors in Georgetown and northern Williamson County.
A bequest is one of the most meaningful ways to support the people and community you love. By including The Caring Place in your will or estate plan, you leave a lasting legacy—one that continues to provide food, shelter, and dignity for families in crisis long into the future. And bequests of every size make a difference: whether large or small, your gift helps us serve even more neighbors right here at home.
What Is a Bequest?
A bequest is a gift made through your will or living trust. You simply designate a portion of your estate (a specific dollar amount, a percentage, a particular asset, or what remains after other gifts are made) to The Caring Place. Because a bequest takes effect in the future, you can plan a significant legacy gift without affecting your finances today, and you retain full control of your assets during your lifetime.
Why Leave a Bequest?
Every gift leaves a legacy. Bequests of all sizes leave a lasting mark on our community and help The Caring Place serve even more neighbors. You don't need great wealth to make a meaningful difference.
Plan a gift without affecting today. A bequest lets you make a significant future commitment while preserving the income and assets you rely on now.
Keep your legacy local. Your gift stays right here, meeting the essential needs of families throughout Georgetown and northern Williamson County with compassion and respect.
Continue your compassion for generations. A bequest ensures your care for this community lives on, helping neighbors you may never meet.
How to Make a Bequest
Including The Caring Place in your estate plan is simple. Your attorney can add a bequest to your will or trust, or you can name us as a beneficiary. You'll need our organization information:
Organization: The Caring Place EIN: 74-2386902
When needed, our Engagement Director is glad to meet with your estate representatives, planners, and probate attorneys to help ensure your wishes are carried out smoothly.
Let Us Know About Your Gift
If you've included The Caring Place in your estate plans, we hope you'll consider letting us know. Sharing your intentions is entirely voluntary and never binding, but it allows us to do two important things.
First, it lets us thank you. By telling us about your plans, you give us the chance to express our gratitude and appreciation for your generosity during your lifetime, rather than after.
Second, it helps us plan. When donors choose to provide testamentary documentation, it helps us process these gifts smoothly and plan responsibly for the future based on what we know about planned gifts to come.
A Promise of Ongoing Stewardship
The Caring Place makes a special effort to care for the families of those who leave bequests. We keep loved ones informed of the impact of their family member's legacy gift, so the generosity of those who came before continues to be seen, felt, and honored in our community. A bequest to The Caring Place means leaving a legacy of caring in our community.
