The Legacy Society consists of donors who have included the Gaston Community Foundation in their estate planning.

The Legacy Society

The Legacy Society honors individuals and families who have chosen to include the Gaston Community Foundation in their estate plans. These visionary donors are helping ensure a stronger, more vibrant community for generations to come.

How to Join the Legacy Society

Becoming a member is simple: if you include the Community Foundation in your estate plans and let us know, we’ll recognize you as part of the Legacy Society. Your commitment may encourage others to make a lasting impact as well.

If you prefer to remain anonymous, we completely respect your wishes. Sharing your plans—confidentially—still allows us to honor your intentions and ensure your legacy is carried out exactly as you envision.
