Members of the Vision Legacy have expressed their commitment to The Discovery Eye Foundation through a very special and important form of financial support.

These donors have named The Discovery Eye Foundation as a beneficiary of a planned gift. Such gifts might include a bequest and/or charitable income gifts, such as charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts or gifts of life insurance.

Once you complete your estate plans, please fill out our letter of intent to let us know. We would like to thank you for your generosity by including you in the Vision Legacy.
