Legacy of Equality Society

​

Secure the Future of Equality for Florida. Join the Legacy of Equality Society.

Our Legacy of Equality Society is a group of generous and forward-thinking Equality Florida supporters who have made a long-range commitment to the success of our mission to bring full equality and justice to Florida’s LGBTQ community. Their gifts will benefit the next generations of LGBTQ people, whose equality battles are yet to be known. We have brought about great progress in the past and staved off fierce challenges to that progress, and the future is expected to be no different. Thanks to our Legacy of Equality Society members, Equality Florida will have the resources necessary to overcome the hurdles that lay ahead. We will make Florida a safe and affirming place for all, no matter a person’s sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

In recognition of their commitment, each Legacy of Equality Society member receives:

• Permanent recognition in all Legacy of Equality Society materials
• Tickets to Legacy of Equality Society luncheons or receptions in many areas
• Beautiful Legacy of Equality Society pin

Charitable Legacies Benefit You and Future Floridians.

Estate planning is a smart move for everyone … no matter their age or financial situation. Don’t let it slip and allow your valuable assets to pass to those you don’t want to benefit - including the state! And remember that including a charitable gift - no matter what size - in your estate plan leaves a lasting legacy that reflects your values and helps determine what Florida will look like decades from now. Legacies, by their nature, help ensure our organization’s financial sustainability.

Depending on your circumstances, charitable gifts - which cost nothing now - can also provide current and future tax benefits. Because every situation is different and we are not tax experts, we encourage you to speak with a tax professional about any benefits that may be available.

FreeWill.com

Equality Florida has a partnership with FreeWill, a cost-free, streamlined, and intuitive online platform that takes the guesswork out of creating or updating a will, and ensures a meaningful legacy by connecting users with their favorite non-profits. In just 20 minutes, from the comfort of their homes, Equality Florida supporters can now ensure that LGBTQ rights will be protected for years to come. Once you have completed your will at FreeWill.com, get in touch with us about joining the Legacy of Equality Society.
