Planned Giving
& the Juliette Gordon Low Society
For the Future of Girls and the Girls of the Future
In March 1912, Juliette Gordon Low gathered 18 girls in Savannah,
Georgia, and began the Movement we know as Girl Scouts. Juliette’s
outstanding leadership was matched by her stewardship. She converted
the carriage house of her home into the first Girl Scouts national
headquarters, and she gifted the property to the Girl Scouts in her
will. Her bequest was the beginning of planned giving to Girl
Scouts.
The Juliette Gordon Low Society was established to thank and honor friends of Girl Scouting who, like Juliette, choose to make Girl Scouts part of their legacy and a beneficiary of their estate.
When you make a planned gift to Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore, you bestow the gift of Girl Scouting to future generations of girls. Your thoughtful and generous gift will support and sustain Girl Scouting and will extend your involvement with the Movement beyond your lifetime. Your legacy will shine through the smiles, the laughter and the achievements of Girl Scouts for years to come.
Providing a gift to Girl Scouts in your estate plans can include naming Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore as beneficiary of a:
- Will
- Retirement Plan
- Living Trust
- Donor-Advised Fund
- Life Insurance Policy
- Charitable Gift Annuity
- Charitable Remainder Trust
- Charitable Lead Trust
- Remainder Gift of Real Estate
- Any other gifts benefitting Girl Scouts in the future
Gifts of all sizes are important and welcomed by Girl Scouts of Michigan Shore to Shore. Disclosure of gift amount is not required; however we would like to know about your decision to include us in your estate planning so that we can show our appreciation for your generous gift.
To design a gift that benefits the people and organizations you care about most, we recommend that you obtain the professional counsel of an attorney who specializes in estate planning. We can work with your advisors to help you plan for tomorrow and receive maximum benefits today.
