Planned Giving

The Overfalls Foundation offers planned giving opportunities to ensure the Lightship Overfalls is sustained for the future.  Participants in the program will be designated Navigators and their generosity will be recognized and remembered.

The Overfalls Foundation has completed the nearly impossible task of turning a rust bucket in a muddy hole into a beautifully preserved ship in a setting worthy of the vessel and the crews who served aboard.  Your planned gift, which costs you nothing during your lifetime, will build the Overfalls Foundation Endowment Fund and gives you the comfort of knowing that you have made a significant contribution toward preserving this treasure for future generations.

There are many ways to make a planned gift including (but not limited to) the following:

• A bequest in your will
• A beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy, 401K plan, or IRA
• A life income gift
• A charitable lead trust

A key person in this conversation should be your attorney or financial planner to ensure that, while your gift will sustain the ship, it will work in concert with your own personal financial needs.

Contact the treasurer at [email protected], or by clicking here, for help in making your gift. Thank you for considering joining us in this worthy cause.
