Planned Giving Secures Our Future
At Tri-Lakes Cares, we depend on the generosity and investment of our donors to continue our mission of empowering people to reach toward a better tomorrow. Planned giving, including bequests and gifts in wills, is essential for the ongoing support of our neighbors. These contributions offer long-term stability, ensuring we can continue making a lasting impact on our community for years to come.
I was very impressed by how much they (Tri-Lakes Cares) do for the people in their community, including assistance with food, health care, case management, job search, rent assistance, gas vouchers, school supplies, and even oil changes (and this is only a small part of their work). Thanks to the staff and volunteers for all they do.

Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
