It is the Board’s fundamental goal to safeguard and grow the endowment fund so that it can continue to support Albert and Julia’s legacy for generations to come.

The Foundation’s outstanding track record spanning the past 30 years of continuous giving speaks well for its excellent management. Donors who wish to see the greatest good come from their gift can be assured that the funds will be well managed and judiciously distributed.

Since its inception 30 years ago, the Foundation has received $9.2 million from Albert’s estate, donated in excess of $10 million in grants and scholarships, and is currently worth $10 million.

Estate Planning

One of the easiest ways to support The Albert Haller Foundation is to leave a gift in your will or revocable trust. You can name a specific dollar amount, or a percentage of what is left, after you leave specific gifts for family and friends. You can also designate the foundation as a beneficiary of all or part of your estate – and you can update your beneficiary at any time.

Gifts by Bequest in Your Will or Trust

A bequest or gift in your will has many advantages. Perhaps the most important one is that it allows you to retain your assets throughout your lifetime so they are there for you if unexpected family needs, health problems or other unpredictable life events arise. Many donors prefer this since they can easily change their bequests.

• Your assets remain under your control during your lifetime.
• You can modify your gift if your circumstances change.
• A bequest by will may be an effective way to reduce estate taxes.
• Just a sentence in your will or trust completes your gift.
