Make a Gift
There are many ways you can support Legacy...
Over our 80-year history donors like you have generously given to the Legacy Foundation allowing us to support important local organizations that are critical to our quality of life in Tompkins County. All gifts – current and planned estate gifts, support our endowment which in turn allows us to award over $200,000 each year to worthy organizations. But as the needs in our community continue to increase, we encourage you to consider supporting Legacy so we can continue to build our endowment and expand our ability to support more worthy organizations.
Whether you choose to make an annual gift, a special gift, or a planned gift, your donation helps to ensure that Tompkins County continues to be a wonderful place to live for our residents now, and for future generations to come. All gifts are tax-deductible in accordance with the most current tax laws.
Annual Gifts
