No matter your level of personal wealth, you can
make a difference in the lives of those with blood
cancer through a legacy gift to the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society. You may choose to make a gift
via your will or living trust, both of which can allow
you to donate either a particular amount, a
percentage of your assets, or funds available after
the distribution of other gifts.

3.  As an additional option, you may choose to give to the
society what remains should your intended beneficiaries
predecease you.
You may also elect to make the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society a beneficiary of your charitable
remainder trust, which provides you or others with income
and defaults to charity after the term of the trust expires. If
you would prefer to safeguard your inheritance rather
than your current income, you may prefer to set up a
charitable lead trust, which makes donations during the
trust's term and transfers the remainder to named
beneficiaries. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society can
work with you to determine what type of gift makes the
most sense for you and your family.
