Remembering the OAFP Foundation (Foundation) in your will and in your estate planning can positively affect your Foundation and its mission well into the future. A planned gift will impact the Foundation’s capacity to continue offering its family medicine pipeline programs to more medical students and residents.
Making a planned gift requires specific planning with your financial advisor, your attorney, or your accountant—and can provide you, the donor, with significant tax advantages. You can make a planned gift to the Foundation through a bequest (a gift you designate in your will), living trust, gift of life insurance, or a variety of other options.
What better way to support the future of family medicine in Ohio than to name the Foundation in your will and in your estate planning. None of us knows what the future will bring. What we do know is that people will always need the quality care provided by family physicians and family physicians will always need to have meaningful involvement with both their patients and communities, making lasting improvements in Ohio’s quality of life.
The Foundation established the Family Medicine Legacy League to recognize those who make provisions through their estate. Donor recognition is given for any gift made by bequests, life insurance, charitable remainder trust, or any other type of planned gift.
If you have remembered the Foundation in your will, please let us know so that we may properly recognize your generosity by listing you as a member of the Family Medicine Legacy League. While public recognition of your gift often inspires generosity in others, we also understand that anonymity may be your preference. Please call 800.742.7327 for more information.
The AAFP Foundation also has financial and estate planning tools to help make the critical task of estate planning even easier for donors with the user-friendly planned giving section of its website. The AAFP Foundation staff is available to help interested donors who wish to remember both the AAFP Foundation and the OAFP Foundation in their charitable bequests. For more information, contact the AAFP Foundation at 800.274.2237. When you make provisions for a planned gift to the AAFP Foundation, you become part of the AAFP Foundation League.
