Cancer changes a family’s life in an instant, but your compassion can give them hope that lasts for generations. By including For Pete’s Sake in your estate plans, you create a legacy of strength, connection, and relief for families facing cancer, helping ensure that no one walks this journey alone. Your planned gift also welcomes you into the Legacy of Hope Society, a dedicated community of supporters whose generosity will transform lives well into the future.

A planned gift allows you to provide enduring hope while honoring your own financial, family, and estate-planning goals. Depending on the gift you choose, you may also receive meaningful tax or financial benefits, making it possible to have a greater impact than you imagined. Every gift, regardless of size, connects your life story with comfort, connection, and healing for adults with cancer and the people who love them.

Make a Planned Gift. Join the Legacy of Hope Society.

A planned gift is one of the most powerful ways to shape the future of For Pete’s Sake—and many options require no gift today. By including FPS in your will, retirement account, life insurance policy, or another estate-planning vehicle, you can make a meaningful future gift without compromising your current financial security. There is no minimum gift amount, and every plan is personal. We will work with you and your advisors to explore an approach that reflects your goals, cares for the people you love, and creates the legacy you want to leave. When you share your intentions with us, we will be honored to welcome you into the Legacy of Hope Society.

Ways to Create Your Legacy

• Include FPS in your will or trust by designating a percentage of your estate, the remainder of your estate, or a specific gift amount.
• Name FPS as a successor beneficiary of your donor-advised fund, or recommend grants from your fund during your lifetime.
• Name FPS as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement account.
• Establish a charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust.
• Name FPS as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy.
• Make a gift of real estate or include a real estate interest in your estate plan.
