Legacy

Commitment to Make a Difference

A legacy gift makes not only an immediate impact, but an ongoing support for efforts that are essential to women and children in our community. You can help ensure that Transitions’ efforts to make a difference will continue to transform lives in a tangible, meaningful way.

Founding Four Legacy Society

The name “Founding Four” honors Transitions’ four founding Catholic Sister communities who saw a need for women and children in Spokane and established our programs and values in order to meet those needs.

Check out the details and perks here.

Leave a Legacy

Including Transitions in your estate planning immediately and endlessly impacts women and children experiencing poverty and homelessness in our community. Your kindness helps the most vulnerable living in Spokane, ensuring long-term change is possible.

Every Dollar Matters

Legacy donations are not just for the wealthy. If everyone gave just 5% of their estate to their community’s charities, the impact would be world-changing.

Their are many creative ways to give — if we consider our full estate and assets rather than just the dollars in the bank, there are so many ways to share your legacy, helping Transitions change lives.

Making a legacy gift to Transitions is quick, simple, and always revocable. You can change your bequest plan at any time. Many options have significant tax benefits, as well.
