Planned Gifts

Planned giving is a meaningful way to extend your generosity beyond the present moment. By including LP Chalee Hermitage in your long-term financial or estate plans, you help ensure that the temple remains a place of peace, refuge, and mindfulness for future generations.

Planned gifts not only provide lasting support for the temple’s mission but can also offer financial and tax benefits to you and your loved ones.

Ways to Leave a Planned Gift

Beneficiary Designations

You can name the temple as a beneficiary of retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or other financial accounts. This is often as easy as filling out a form with your account provider.

Charitable Trusts

For those who wish to provide income for themselves or loved ones while also supporting the temple, a charitable trust may be an option. Consult with your financial advisor or attorney to explore this avenue.

Other Legacy Gifts

Bequests, endowments, and memorial gifts are also ways to create a lasting legacy of generosity.

A Heartfelt Choice

Every planned gift, no matter the size, is an act of compassion that carries forward the spirit of dana (generosity). Your legacy ensures that the temple continues to be a place where all people—Buddhist and non-Buddhist alike—can find peace, wisdom, and community.

If you are considering a planned gift, we encourage you to speak with your financial advisor or attorney, and let us know so we may honor your generosity with gratitude.
