Leaving behind a legacy of love is perhaps the most lasting of impressions on the future that one can make.  The Life Center's ultimate purpose is to love and nurture the gifts and aspirations of every person by inspiring, stirring and motivating the spirit, thereby building a legacy that will enrich our community and mankind far beyond our time.

A lifetime gift to TLC may be given through:

Planned Giving Opportunities
A planned gift may be made in a variety of ways. TLC is prepared to provide you and your advisors with more information that could benefit your family, including tax advantages.

Wills & Bequests
A gift to the TLC Endowment Fund by Will or Revocable Living Trust permits you to retain all your assets during your lifetime and/or the life of your spouse. Designations may be for a percent of your estate or for a specified amount.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust can provide income to you and your spouse so long as either of you live. Thereafter, the trust principal will go to the TLC Endowment Fund. You may name other charities as principal recipients as well.

Retirement Funds
For those who may have significant retirement plan assets, potential estate and income taxes on any part of those assets that might still be in your estate at death can be avoided by making the TLC Endowment Fund beneficiary of any unused plan assets.

Life Insurance
When the added protection of an insurance policy is no longer needed, transferring the policy ownership to The Life Center can result in tax benefits for you and a generous gift for the TLC Endowment Fund. This Fund can also be included as a beneficiary, contingency beneficiary or owner of a new or existing policy.

Outright Gift
A direct gift of cash, appreciated securities or real properties may be the most convenient way for you to make a contribution to the TLC Endowment Fund.

Charitable Lead Trust
A Charitable Lead Trust is funded with an asset to provide the TLC Endowment Fund income for a specific term of years, after which time the principal will return to you or to designated individuals.

Charitable Gift Annuity
When you transfer cash or securities worth $5,000 or more to The Life Center, a guaranteed fixed stream of income would be provided to you (and your spouse, if you desire) for lifetime. In most cases, a significant portion would be tax-free, after which, the remaining principal would go the TLC Endowment Fund.

Please meet with us to see how we might partner together to facilitate and sustain the powerful work of The Life Center for generations to come.  Your llifetime gift will, I personally guarantee, make a lifetime of difference to thousands of lives.  It will bring hope to shattered hearts and broken spirits that long for a brighter tomorrow.  Please call me at (541) 420-2228 to arrange for a private visit.

With a vision for life and limitless hope for our future together,

Ramy Louis - Founder and President
