Legacy Giving
A popular and meaningful way to donate to Lambda Legal is by including our organization in your estate and retirement plans.
By making a legacy gift of any type, you’ll automatically receive membership in our Guardian Society—unlocking benefits such as exclusive invitations to Lambda Legal
When you name Lambda Legal as a beneficiary of your will or trust, you can make a meaningful investment in our work without gifting assets during your lifetime. See below for sample language for adding a bequest to your will or trust.

When you name Lambda Legal as a beneficiary of qualified retirement plans—such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, or pension fund—our organization will receive the full value of your gift tax-free.
When you set up a charitable gift annuity through Lambda Legal, you can create a partially tax-free source of retirement income. Contact us below to find out more.
When you set up a qualified charitable distribution after age 70.5, you can donate up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA—helping you meet a required minimum distribution (RMD) and lowering your taxable income.
To set up a qualified charitable distribution, you’ll need Lambda Legal’s full name and address, as well as our tax ID number.
Please be sure to include your name with your gift as well so we can process it correctly.
