Build a Legacy

When you think about the legacy you want to leave behind, what comes to mind? For many people, it’s not just about assets or financial plans, it’s about values, impact, and the people and causes that have mattered most throughout their lives.

At Family Service Rochester, we believe a legacy is ensuring that individuals and families have access to support, stability, and compassionate services when they need them most.

For more than 60 years, Family Service Rochester has walked alongside people through some of life’s most challenging moments, offering guidance, care, and connection during times of change and uncertainty.

Legacy gifts, often made through a will, trust, or beneficiary designation, are one of the most meaningful ways to align your personal values with long-term community impact. These gifts allow you to support causes you care deeply about while also providing for the people you love.

No matter the size, a legacy gift sends a powerful message: our community matters. Many people are surprised to learn they can make a meaningful future gift without impacting their current financial situation.

Deciding to make a legacy gift is deeply personal. Some donors choose to share their plans with us so we can express our gratitude and ensure their intentions are honored. Others prefer to keep their plans private. There is no obligation, only appreciation.

If you would like to learn more about legacy giving or have questions about how to include Family Service Rochester in your plans, we would be honored to talk with you. Please reach out to Jennifer Pinske at 507-287-2010 or jpinske@familyservicerochester.org.

Together, we can build better lives for generations to come.
