Create A Legacy

Make a Big Impact with a Future Gift

You can be an essential part of Venice Family Clinic’s future by including a charitable gift within your overall estate and financial plans. Planned giving provides numerous financial benefits to you while supporting the Clinic. Planned gifts can reduce your taxable income, provide options for distributing estates to your children and family, avoid capital gains on appreciated assets, and generate ongoing income for you and your loved one. Planned gifts provide a significant source of funding for Venice Family Clinic for the future, making it possible for us to grow our services and stay ahead of any unexpected changes in health care policy.

Legacy Society Stories

When you make a planned gift to Venice Family Clinic, you become a member of our Legacy Society. Hear from some of our members on how they chose to make their impact.

Professor Emeritus Charlotte Neumann, M.D. and Professor Emeritus Alfred Neumann, M.D.

“Venice Family Clinic is the story of how a small group of people brought the community together and made something wonderful: a home for all people who need health care. We included Venice Family Clinic in our estate plans so the Clinic will continue to improve lives throughout the decades.”

Fern Seizer, Former Executive Director of Venice Family Clinic, Legacy Society Charter Member

“Without health, there is little a person can do with his or her life. I named Venice Family Clinic as a beneficiary in my estate to create futures for people in need.”

Cheri Schrupp, Venice Family Clinic Art Walk Angel and longtime Santa Monica Resident

“I gave my home to Venice Family Clinic through my living trust to help the Clinic continue its support of quality health care in our community. It feels good knowing that the proceeds are going to help others who are less fortunate. Venice Family Clinic provides not only care but hope for the future.”
