Leave a Legacy

One of the most lasting and meaningful ways to support the next generation of LGBTQ scholars is by becoming a member of Point’s Legacy Circle. This group of thoughtful supporters is comprised of individuals who have committed to including Point in their estate plans.

Point Foundation works with legacy donors and their executors to create a giving plan for the future that meets the needs of our scholarship recipients and the donor's wishes.
