You have the power to make a lasting impact for the students of LightHouse for the Blind through a planned gift. These types of charitable contributions let you support our programs for the blind far into the future while also providing tax and other benefits to you. An estate attorney can help you determine a strategy individualized to your needs and portfolio. If you don’t already have one, the LightHouse can suggest qualified estate attorneys for you to work with directly.
