Life Legacy Fund
Cultivating a Legacy of Life
What is the purpose of the Life Legacy Fund?
Unplanned pregnancies will continue to impact women and families in our community long into the future. It’s our desire to be available to women, expanding our reach and resourced to meet real needs while opening the door for the Gospel message. The Life Legacy Fund will enhance and sustain the long-term mission and ministry of Life Forward.
What are the goals of the Life Legacy Fund?
Provide long-term ongoing cash flow to supplement the ministry’s resources
Help Life Forward to stay relevant to the needs of women and help us expand our reach
Create a structure for our supporters to know their planned or legacy gifts will continue to have an impact long into the future
Why is the Life Legacy Fund needed?
Throughout 35 years of ministry, Life Forward’s model has changed to a more professional, medical service while remaining cost-free to our clients. Along with this, Life Forward has faced significant fluxuations in funding as a result of changes in giving patterns, economic uncertainty, revised government policies and even the passing of long-time supporters throughout our history. The Life Legacy Fund will establish a source of supplemental income during lean seasons of giving and allow us to grow our services and impact.
How can I help?
Would you prayerfully consider joining Life Forward in its long-term mission through a gift, a multi-year gift, and/or a planned gift to The Life Legacy Fund? Your gifts will sustain and further the ministry of Life Forward.

Ensure that Fund income is as stable and enduring as possible
