The Turner Syndrome Society of the United States is proud to share the TSSUS Legacy Society. The Legacy Society is a way for TSSUS to honor those of you who have or will embrace legacy giving by naming TSSUS in your last will and testament and/or naming TSSUS as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement account. TSSUS also recognizes those donors who make Major Gifts to TSSUS in the Major Gift Society.

A Legacy That Lives On

 

You’ve already made a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families impacted by Turner syndrome. Every gift, every act of support, helps move our mission forward. But what if your impact could extend far beyond today - creating a future of support, research, and community for generations to come?

 

That’s the power of a legacy gift.

 

Through the TSSUS Legacy Society, we honor and celebrate those who choose to include the Turner Syndrome Society of the United States in their long-term plans. These gifts are more than financial contributions - they are enduring statements of hope, commitment, and belief in a better future.

 

Legacy giving allows you to make one of the most significant contributions of your lifetime - often without affecting your current finances. It’s a simple, flexible way to ensure that the mission you care about continues for years to come.

 

What is a Legacy Gift?

 

A legacy (or planned) gift is a future gift that you arrange today, often as part of your financial or estate plans. It can take many forms, including:

 

  • A gift made through your will or living trust (charitable bequest)

  • Naming TSSUS as a beneficiary of a retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension)

  • Naming TSSUS as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy

  • Donating a percentage of your estate or specific assets

  • Giving appreciated property, securities, or other assets

  • Establishing certain types of charitable trusts (for more advanced planning)

 

Why Consider a Legacy Gift?

 

  • It creates a lasting impact on future generations

  • It may offer tax advantages for you and your estate*

  • It allows you to give more than you might be able to during your lifetime

  • It does not require immediate financial commitment

  • It reflects your values and lifelong commitment to the TSSUS mission

 

Perhaps most importantly, legacy giving is not about wealth - it’s about intention. Gifts of any size help ensure that individuals with Turner syndrome and their families continue to receive the support, resources, and community they deserve.

 

By including TSSUS in your plans, you become part of a special group of supporters whose generosity will shape the future of our organization. It’s a powerful way to say: this work matters, and it must continue.

 

If you’ve already included TSSUS in your plans, thank you - we would be honored to recognize you - just let us know. If you’re considering a legacy gift, we’re here to help you explore your options and make the process simple and meaningful.

 

Together, we can build a legacy that lasts a lifetime - and beyond.

 

*As always, please consult your financial or legal advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
