Lifetime of Opportunities Legacy Circle

Make Opportunity Your Legacy.

A gift in your will or estate plan will ensure that critical support and innovative services will be available to future generations of people with Down syndrome and developmental disabilities and their families. For decades, we have created and provided programs and services that are designed around what our community says it values most. When you include DSACO  in your estate plans, you ensure that our work will continue on, opening new opportunities for people and families at every stage of life, from before birth through adulthood, from uplifting parents to advocating for policies. Let their opportunities be part of your legacy.

As an acknowledgment of your generosity, when you give a gift through your will or estate plan, you become a member of the Lifetime of Opportunities Legacy Circle. As a member of the Lifetime of Opportunities Legacy Circle, and we recognize your commitment to the mission of DSACO in a variety of ways.
