Why Leave a Legacy?

A legacy gift is a meaningful way to:

  • Honor a loved one affected by aphasia
  • Reflect your lifelong values of equity, inclusion, and communication
  • Ensure that free resources, research, and support continue to reach those in need
  • Create something lasting, personal, and impactful

Ways to Leave a Legacy

1. Name the NAA in Your Will or Trust

Designate a gift of a specific dollar amount, asset, or percentage of your estate.

Sample bequest language:

“I give [dollar amount or %] to the National Aphasia Association, Inc., a nonprofit organization located in New York, NY, for its general use.”

 

2. Make the NAA a Beneficiary

You can name NAA as a full or partial beneficiary of:

  • A life insurance policy
  • A retirement account (IRA, 401(k), etc.)
  • A donor-advised fund (DAF)

 

3. Create a Named Fund or Endowment

Establish a fund in your name or in honor of someone with aphasia to support:

  • Scholarships for families to attend conferences
  • Research grants
  • Public education campaigns

Make it Personal

We invite you to connect with us to explore creative and customized giving ideas, such as:

  • Legacy Storytelling Projects: Share your story or that of your loved one to be preserved as part of our advocacy history.
  • Named Legacy Grants: Support future research or awareness initiatives in your family’s name.
