Planned gifts to the Chest provide a critical base for continuing community support.

In 2013, we established the Banyan Society, a Planned Giving initiative for future annual community grants or investment in our Capital Reserve Fund. Donors can make a lasting impact on the Hobe Sound community by including the Chest in their estate plans and naming it as a beneficiary of their will, trust, retirement account, donor-advised fund or life insurance policy. Other options are also available, such as a tax-advantaged, life-income gift.

Like our local banyans, membership in the Banyan Society will grow roots in the Hobe Sound community, assuring the Chest’s long-term support and success. Please contact the Chest office, 772-545-9072 for more information.
