Bright Futures Society

Bright Futures Society was established by the Board of Directors to acknowledge and thank individuals who support Liberty Foundation through charitable gift provisions in their estate plans.

Today, charitable gifts to Liberty Foundation include bequests under wills and trusts, gift annuities, life insurance, and other estate gifts. All gifts have a far reaching impact, helping to ensure a “bright future” and uplifting the lives of all who are served by Liberty ARC. Please see Ways to Give for more details on giving options.

Bright Futures Society members are a reflection of Liberty’s founders, their values and spirit, and their dedication to make a difference for a brighter future.
