Our Legacy Society

An Invitation to Join Our Legacy Society

Members of Our Legacy Society have expressed their commitment to American Macular Degeneration Foundation through a very special and important form of financial support.

These donors have named AMDF as the ultimate beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include a bequest and/or charitable income gifts, such as charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder unitrusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts, or gifts of life insurance.

Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our member profile form to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in Our Legacy Society.

Membership Benefits

Your membership involves no dues, obligations, or solicitations, but it does allow us to thank you and recognize you for the plans you have made, and it may inspire generosity in others.

Benefits of membership in Our Legacy Society also include annual luncheons, invitations to special events and seminars and a subscription to our newsletter.

The most important benefit, however, you will receive from joining Our Legacy Society is the satisfaction derived from making a lasting contribution to our long-term prosperity.

The AMDF is indebted to all donors, large and small, who help the Foundation work for a brighter tomorrow.
