About

LEAVE A LEGACY® through a charitable bequest.

The LEAVE A LEGACY® Winona program is a collaborative effort among non-profit organizations and  estate and financial planning professionals of the greater Winona area to promote gifts to charities through  wills and estate plans. The program encourages people of all ages, backgrounds and income levels to make gifts to the non-profit organizations of their choice.

The LEAVE A LEGACY® Winona program is made up of community based organizations including human  service agencies, churches, educational institutions, hospitals, arts organizations, and professional advisors  such as attorneys, accountants, financial planners, insurance agents and many more. A list of local program  partners can be found by clicking on the appropriate menu link to the left.

The LEAVE A LEGACY® initiative originated in Columbus, Ohio in 1994 and is continuing to unite more than  120 communities throughout the U.S. and Canada to promote awareness of the importance of remembering  charities and special causes in a will or estate plan.

LEAVE A LEGACY® does not solicit gifts for a particular organization, this is a collaborative educational  effort among LEAVE A LEGACY® Winona partners.
