Testimonials
I want to be my best and do my best, to be useful, to serve, and to thrive for the benefit of others and this world. When I’m gone, I want my efforts to continue as long as possible from what I was able to leave behind. This is why I decided to Leave 10. With thoughtful plans made today, I’ll hopefully have done my best to make this world a better place for others when I’m gone.
I leave 10 percent of my estate to increase the leadership of diverse communities, nonprofits and the youth of our community. I value the grit, gifts and talents of this community and I entrust my investment in organizations to strategically advance the heart of our community for our community and by our community.
The spirit of caring is what makes for a great community. It is that spirit that moves us to invest our time, talent, and treasure in supporting the causes we care about – not only for the present, but for the future. Our hope is that others will join us in embracing the Leave 10 movement and make a meaningful gift through their estate plans to support their charitable passions. It is an investment in the future vibrancy of our community we can all get behind.
We are very encouraged to see the generosity of our community. For those of us who have the capacity it is a joy and a shared responsibility to provide tail winds to those who might not have the same opportunities we’ve experienced. We applaud the Leave 10 initiative and look forward to passing along the majority of our estate to others. So many work hard to serve the diverse needs of our neighbors and we are honored to be of assistance. Our deep appreciation and thanks to those on the front lines.
Leave 10 South Sound aims to build stronger communities and transform as many people as possible into philanthropists by educating, inspiring, and encouraging individuals to aspire to leave at least 10% of their estates to charity.
