Ask your employer about matching your donation to potentially double—or even triple—your support.

Living/Dying Legacy Circle

When you include the Living/Dying Project in your estate planning, you join our Legacy Circle—an inspiring community committed to fostering consciousness, compassion, and profound support at every stage of life.

At the Living/Dying Project, we recognize that conscious dying is deeply spiritual—and made profoundly easier by clear, thoughtful planning and open conversations with loved ones about our wishes after we die. By naming us as a beneficiary in your estate, you help sustain our mission long into the future, ensuring compassionate support and invaluable education continue for generations.

Easy Ways to Give:

A simple and impactful way to contribute is by naming the Living/Dying Project as the beneficiary of retirement assets like a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh, or pension plan. This approach achieves your charitable goals while also providing significant tax advantages. Your legacy gift will directly support our mission and pass to us free from estate and income taxes. No attorney fees are required—simply request and complete a beneficiary-change form from your retirement plan administrator.

We encourage you to share your plans openly with your loved ones, creating space for heartfelt conversations about your values and legacy.

Next Steps:

Together, let’s build a future where life’s greatest challenges are met with compassion, clarity, and deep connection—for the benefit of all beings.
