Planned Giving
A planned gift is one that becomes effective when your estate is settled in the future. Because this type of gift is arranged now and paid out later, it helps ensure the Jackson Memorial Library will have financial resources for years to come. Examples of planned gifts include bequests, retirement plans, trusts and life insurance policies. Contact the Library Director for more information.
