Legacy Giving

Build Resilience That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime

A legacy gift to BRACE is more than a donation — it is an investment in the safety, preparedness,
and recovery of Northwest Florida for generations to come.

By including BRACE in your estate plans, you help ensure that families, seniors, and vulnerable neighbors
will have access to vital disaster preparedness education, trained volunteers, and coordinated recovery
support long into the future. Your legacy becomes part of a stronger, safer community.

Why Legacy Giving Matters

Disasters do not discriminate — but preparation and recovery can change lives.

Legacy gifts allow BRACE to:

• Sustain disaster preparedness and education programs

• Train volunteers through CERT, Fire Corps, and Citizen Corps initiatives

• Coordinate long-term recovery for families impacted by disasters

• Respond quickly and effectively when emergencies strike

• Strengthen partnerships that build community resilience

Your foresight today helps BRACE remain ready tomorrow.

Ways to Leave a Legacy

There are many meaningful ways to create a legacy gift, including:

• Bequests through a will or trust

• Beneficiary designations on retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or financial accounts

• Charitable trusts or annuities

• Gifts of stock or other assets

These gifts can often be arranged without impacting your current financial situation and may provide tax benefits for you and your family.

Your Values. Your Legacy.

A legacy gift reflects what matters most to you — faith, service, family, and community. Whether large or small, every planned gift helps ensure that BRACE can continue to serve Northwest Florida when it matters most.

You don’t have to be wealthy to leave a legacy. You simply have to care about the future.
