Carl Morrison Legacy Society

Morrison has a single goal: To help kids be kids and families stay together.

Today, we provide mental health and substance-use recovery services for over 8,200 youth and families throughout Oregon, filling an essential role in our community. We serve individuals of every background and recognize, respect, and celebrate our uniqueness and that which unites us.

Your gift to Morrison, through your will or living trust, directly supports the essential services we provide to Oregon families.

We can’t do this crucial work alone. After providing for your loved ones, please consider including the Morrison Foundation in your estate plans.

Your legacy will have a lasting impact on our community. Make a difference. Support the youth of tomorrow by planning today.

Ways you can help:

• Name Morrison in your will
• Designate Morrison as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan.
• Additional Planned Gifts:
  • Charitable Trusts
  • Marketable Securities
  • Real Estate
  • Tangible Personal Property
  • Cash

If you have decided that you want to include Morrison in your estate plan, you may download, fill out and remit our Planned Giving pledge form. We will then contact you to confirm.

You may also include a bequest in support of Morrison Foundation when preparing your will or by adding a codicil to your present will. Bequests may be of cash, securities, real estate or other property. Bequests of all sizes are welcome, whether they are outright, contingent, or residual. A bequest is:

Flexible: You can direct your support to any program or the Morrison Foundation.

Revocable: A bequest can always be modified if your interests or circumstances change

Financially smart: A bequest costs you nothing now, and they are not subject to state or federal estate taxes later
