Create Your Legacy Through a Planned Gift
Every one of us will leave a legacy. Making a planned gift is a way to support the community and the causes you care about most, extending your generosity well into the future.
A Legacy Gift is Powerful
Will you consider making Vision Forward a part of your legacy?
Vision Forward’s Adam Zepp Legacy Society honors Vision Forward’s founder whose generosity and vision established our organization in 1919 as the Badger Association of the Blind. Today Vision Forward is a 501(c)(3) providing comprehensive services to people of all ages affected by the loss of vision. Though its structure and name have changed, Vision Forward continues to embody the commitment and forward-thinking of Adam Zepp over a century ago. By naming Vision Forward in your estate plans, you become a member of the Adam Zepp Legacy Society.
If you have taken the generous step to remember Vision Forward in a will or as a beneficiary of one of your investments, you have our gratitude. Please let us know so we can say thank you!
