Legacy Society
Since 1990, planned gifts have been integral to ensuring a bright future for our Chromosome 18 families. The Chromosome 18 Registry & Research is proud to announce the formation of our new Legacy Society that fosters a culture of giving to recognize and thank planned-gift donors.
The Power of a Planned Gift
The benefits of a planned gift to Chromosome 18 are immeasurable by enabling you to support Chromosome 18 and strengthen our mission. Planned gifts can provide material benefits to you — benefits such as lifelong payments, charitable tax deductions, and more. Learn more about legacy gifts here.
What are the benefits of joining the Legacy Society?
Being a member of the Legacy Society gives you the opportunity to belong to a select group of like-minded people who are committed to support the needs of our families. The Chromosome 18 Legacy Society recognizes its members at our Annual Conference, in our Annual Report, and will keep them informed about the organization through regular communication.

- Establish – Donors can include a gift to Chromosome 18 in their will or trust, establishing a bequest.
- Notify – Donors notify Chromosome 18 of their plans and automatically become members of the Legacy Society.
