Join Us: Leave a Legacy

As we navigate life, we often reflect on the legacies we want to leave behind. Beyond the traditions we share with family and friends, our truest legacy is the values we live by: kindness, respect, and a willingness to listen to others. Becoming a part of the Touchstones Legacy Circle changes lives forever. Your planned gift helps sustain programs that:
  • Cultivate empathy and critical thinking
  • Foster civil discourse
  • Build inclusive community
  • Train educators and leaders in collaborative discussion
  • Develop lifelong learners
  • Engage more and more people every year

To join the Legacy Circle, you can easily include Touchstones in your estate planning through a will, retirement account, or life insurance policy. We invite you to be inspired by our current Legacy Circle members and to consider building your own legacy with Touchstones today.


Why Join Our Legacy Circle?

“I decided to make a legacy gift because the world needs the skills that Touchstones develops, now and in the future. I also know that people may either forget or overlook the fact that it takes considerable and sustained financial resources to grow the organization’s reach and impact. I’m excited to be a part of group that helps ensure Touchstones’ future influence and to know that long after I am gone, people will still be learning to listen carefully, speak thoughtfully, collaborate meaningfully and share leadership!”

Vice-Chair, Touchstones Board

“Including Touchstones in our estate planning was a simple way for Phil and I to demonstrate our commitment to funding the organization’s future.  The unique change that Touchstones makes possible will not happen overnight. Making a legacy gift ensures that Touchstones will be able to continue its vital work helping as many people as possible develop the critical skills needed to create a better world for generations to come.“
