Our Legacy of Hope

Imagine a future where the causes you care about thrive year after year, forever touched by your generosity. The Legacy of Hope Society is the Ronald McDonald House New England  planned giving society, established to recognize individuals who have provided for the House in their estate plans and shared their commitment with us.

At Ronald McDonald House New England, we provide strength and support to children and their families by keeping them together when they need it most. A planned gift allows us to bring hope and help to families with ill or injured children through our various programs and family-centered care.

 

Investing in the Future

Many of our supporters choose to invest in the long-term mission of the House through a planned gift. Unlike immediate cash donations, these provisions are most often made in the form of bequests in a will, but they can also include:

  • Charitable trusts

  • Life insurance beneficiaries

  • Gifts of retirement plan assets

With a planned gift, you may even be able to enjoy meaningful financial and tax benefits. Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or benefit the families we serve after your lifetime, we can help you find a charitable plan that aligns with your personal goals and ensures a lasting impact for families in New England.
