Legacy Partnership Program

This first-in-the-nation program has made great strides in helping participating organizations identify new legacy gifts – 256 gifts in the last fiscal year (July 1, 2004-June 30, 2005), for a total of 556 legacy gifts since 2002.

Between the initiation of the Legacy Partnership Program in 2002 and June 30, 2005, The Dayton Foundation has helped 50 local, not-for-profit organizations to start a planned and deferred giving program or invigorate an existing program to help sustain their operations and strengthen their future.

The Dayton Foundation's Legacy Partnership Program:

• teaches an approach to endowment building that has a proven track record of securing legacy gifts;
• provides a structure and discipline to assure that charities have allocated time to devote to their program;
• provides support for endowment-building efforts, with access to the Foundation's services and Development staff with planned and deferred giving knowledge and experience; and
• helps charities grow their resources for the benefit of the community.
