Leave a Legacy of Care
Caring Hearts Legacy Circle
Many choose to leave a legacy gift through a will or trust to a charity whose mission expresses their personal values. Those who remember RMHC St. Louis through a will, trust, or other planned gift are members of our Caring Hearts Legacy Circle. These members share a dedication to our mission and to the families of seriously ill children and their legacy will help ensure those families will always have a home-away-from-home in St. Louis. Too often, legacy gifts go unrecognized because they come at the end of donors’ lives.
At RMHC St. Louis, we recognize that every act of giving is personal and unique.
The Caring Hearts Legacy Circle was created to provide a way to recognize and thank donors during their lifetime. Participation in the program can be an inspirational experience, and may encourage others to look toward the future and explore how they too can have a lasting impact on RMHC and the families we serve.
There are many ways to make a difference in the lives of seriously ill children and their families - including gifts you can make today, gifts that pay you income for your life, and legacy gifts that make an impact after your lifetime.
Becoming a member
For membership, only a statement of intent to leave a planned gift to our organization is required. If you have already included Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis in your estate plan, we encourage you to let us know so that we may honor you as a member of the Caring Hearts Legacy Circle.
Each member will have a house proudly displayed at the Grove Ronald McDonald House.
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, we’re sharing FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift to RMHC St. Louis in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
“Joining the Caring Hearts Legacy Circle has been a good way to show my daughters about giving back. It's simple. If you are able to help, why wouldn't you?"
