PLANNED GIFTS - THE SIEMPREVIDA FUND
    If you have a will, living trust, or other estate documents, it is easy to make a lasting gift to EBSC in the form of a bequest. Unless designated otherwise, these gifts are added to the Siemprevida Fund, where they are invested for the long term. Siemprevida means "always living."  EBSC has created this fund to provide some financial security for EBSC long into the future. EBSC will use the interest generated by the Fund, but will leave the principal the principal untouched except in the case of a true emergency. The Siemprevida Fund is separate from our reserves, which are simply meant to provide a cushion and which may be used during difficult times. When you make a planned gift that becomes part of the Siemprevida Fund, you are helping to provide a reliable stream of income to EBSC for as long as we are needed in the community.

    Those who make planned gifts to EBSC are invited to join the Siemprevida Club, through which we recognize these people during their lifetimes. If you would like to receive information about making a planned gift to EBSC, please contact Sr. Maureen Duignan, EBSC’s Executive Director, at (510) 540-5296 or info@eastbaysanctuary.org.
