You can provide a dedicated and safe place for success and longevity in recovery for future generations.

Thank you for considering a planned gift to Center 12, Inc. DBA Center 12, a federal 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. 

A planned gift to the Center 12 saves lives. Every time one of our members gains the stability in their lives to find sobriety, find housing, find a job, go back to school, or simply continues to grow and thrive in their recovery, your generosity and its impact is felt and remembered.   We average over 2500 meeting attendees each month.

By informing us of your planned gift, you allow Center 12 to plan for a successful and impactful future. Joining our Legacy Society provides you the opportunity to not only create a legacy that’s true to your beliefs and your values, but also ensures that the Center 12 will be a place of hope and transformation for years to come in the LGBTQ+ recovering community.

There are several easy ways to make an impactful gift that can be both beneficial to Center 12 and to you, your heirs, and your estate. Please look below for examples of bequest options.

  • Bequests: Perhaps the easiest way to have a lasting impact.  A bequest is a gift of any amount or percentage in your will or trust.

  • Life Insurance: You can designate Center 12 as a full, partial, or contingent beneficiary of your account.

  • Retirement Benefits: Assets such as a 401(k) or an IRA is a tax-wise way to give to Center 12.  You may now contribute your Required Minimum Distributions to Center 12.  This allows you to avoid taking additional taxable income.  The IRS calls this a Qualified Charitable Distribution.
