The Group Foundation is taking steps to guarantee that its valuable programs supporting the field of group psychotherapy continue into the future – and the establishment of the Group Foundation’s Legacy Society is integral to this effort. Members of the Legacy Society have made continuing financial support to the Group Foundation part of their legacy by making a bequest in their wills or by purchasing a charitable gift annuity. They invite you to join them in giving back to the field we love by helping to secure its future. 
I have personally made a bequest, seeing it as my way of giving back. It is a satisfying privilege for me to make definite this part of my legacy to our beloved field, and to express my hopes for its future.  I hope you will join me in the Legacy Society by taking this step as well to benefit the Group Psychotherapy Foundation.

Planned giving options include charitable bequests which can be made in a variety of ways (such as fixed sum, percentages and remainders) at a variety of levels or a charitable gift annuity which provides current charitable gift deductions along with lifetime income options.
