Ways To Give
How to Give
One of the easiest ways to support the Parks Alliance of Louisville is with a gift to our organization in your will. If you have a will, or plan to create one, please consider including a gift in support of our mission. A gift given through your will (a bequest) can be made for a specific dollar amount, or for a percentage, or the balance of your estate. You can give cash, personal property, real estate, securities, insurance policies, or retirement plan assets.
To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.
Have you already included a gift to the Parks Alliance of Louisville in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets, and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

DAF Gifts
Donor-advised funds (DAFs) are tax-advantaged charitable giving accounts. Any person, couple, family — or even company — can open a DAF account at one of more than 1,000 providers across the nation.
DAF giving is the fastest-growing segment of nonprofit fundraising because it is beneficial for both you, the donor, and the Parks Alliance of Louisville. If you already have a donor-advised fund, you can give using the money you’ve already set aside for philanthropy without spending an additional cent! A gift of any size is meaningful, and the collective impact of your contribution will resonate for years to come.
