Leadership

Richard Durfee - Legacy Global FoundationA message from Legacy Global Foundation Founder and President, Rick Durfee -

Legacy Global Foundation was founded on a single mission: to inspire charitable giving.

We are able to do this for charities by making Legacy Global strategies available to develop planned gifts and by financially supporting charities.

Legacy Global also carries-out its own charitable initiatives to enhance education, feed the hungry, support youth activities, fund volunteer efforts around the world, improve scientific and medical initiatives and other worthwhile endeavors as suggested by our donors and directed by the Legacy Global board of directors.

By working with donors and their advisors, we assist in implementing value-based charitable giving strategies that increase income, decrease taxes, provide security for heirs and create a lasting charitable legacy.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore our website, then, give us a call to learn more about how Legacy Global can help you identify and implement charitable giving strategies to meet your specific needs, so that you can "Live Well. Leave a Legacy"
