Did you know that August is national “Make-A-Will Month”?

This promotion raises awareness of the importance of having a will to adequately and accurately distribute assets to loved ones and favored charities. While taking the step to create a will can be difficult for many people, there are resources that can help enable the process. Our friends at the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven have a wonderful blogpost on the topic.

Should you consider leaving an estate gift to Guilford Art Center, you will become a member of our 1957 Legacy Society. Named for the Center’s founding year, the society recognizes visionary gifts from donors who wish to make a lasting gift. We can work with donors to carry out their philanthropy in ways that have the greatest personal meaning.

Please call 203-453-5947 or email Maureen Belden, Executive Director
