Legacy gifts provide the foundation for our mission at Charles E. Smith Life Communities, ensuring we can serve future generations with compassion and purpose. These gifts allow you to take care of your family, provide gifts to loved ones and include a charitable gift for Charles E. Smith Life Communities. We can help you find the best way to make your gift and perhaps help you to make a larger gift than you thought possible.
