Bequest In Your Will or Trust
Some of the most powerful gifts are not the ones we give today—but the ones that continue to give long after we are gone. At JAMLAC, we invite our community to consider leaving a legacy through a bequest in their will or trust—ensuring that their commitment to justice, dignity, and compassion can live on for generations to come.
A legacy gift is more than a financial decision—it is a reflection of your values. It is a way to stand with individuals and families who have experienced poverty and oppression, and to ensure they have access to the legal support they need to build a better future. These gifts allow JAMLAC to remain responsive, adapting our services as the needs of our community evolve, and continuing to walk alongside those who need it most.
The beauty of a legacy gift is its simplicity. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage, or an asset through your will, trust, or by naming JAMLAC as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. It costs nothing today, remains completely flexible, and can be adjusted as your life circumstances change. Whether given in honor of a loved one or as a reflection of your personal journey, your legacy can become part of a larger story—one that continues to bring hope and justice to others.
At JAMLAC, we believe that generosity is not measured only in the present, but in the future we help shape together. If you are considering including JAMLAC in your plans, we would be honored to be part of that conversation—because your legacy can become someone else’s new beginning.

At JAMLAC, we understand that generosity is deeply personal—and that every donor’s journey looks different. That’s why we offer the opportunity to create a personalized giving plan that reflects your values, goals, and vision for impact.
Whether you choose to give through a traditional gift, appreciated stock, a Donor-Advised Fund, IRA or retirement assets, or by including JAMLAC as part of your legacy planning, our team is here to guide you with care and transparency. We’re committed to partnering with you to ensure your giving experience is meaningful, thoughtful, and aligned with what matters most to you.
