About Leave A Legacy®

San Antonio, South Texas, The Hill Country and Guadalupe Valley comprise a region rich in history and cultural diversity and filled with generous and caring people.

To help all our citizens extend their generosity by remembering their favorite charities in their estate plans, the San Antonio Regional Council of the National Committee on Planned Giving is sponsoring LEAVE A LEGACY® San Antonio, South Texas, The Hill Country and Guadalupe Valley.

LEAVE A LEGACY® is a community-based program designed to encourage people from all walks of life to make gifts through their wills or other planned giving vehicles and does not solicit gifts for any particular organization. Instead, the program is a cooperative effort of all types of nonprofit groups including social service and arts organizations, churches, synagogues, hospitals, educational institutions and other philanthropic groups.

LEAVE A LEGACY® San Antonio, South Texas, The Hill Country and Guadalupe Valley reaches out to everyone, not just the wealthy, to encourage charitable giving. Planned gifts of any size - large or small - can profoundly change or even save lives.
