Leave a Legacy
You can help prevent suicide by leaving a gift to Samaritans in your will. Your gift will be a legacy of your compassion for those who struggle or have suffered a loss to suicide. When you make a planned gift to Samaritans, you’ll become part of the Monica Dickens Legacy Society, named after our founder. Monica’s legacy lives on each day in our work to prevent suicide — and you can be part of that legacy, as well.
How to Make a Future Gift to Samaritans
The simplest way to make a legacy gift to Samaritans is through your will or by designating Samaritans as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or bank account. A legacy gift can allow you to make a bigger impact through a larger gift than is possible with present-day funds — without affecting your finances today and offering tax advantages to you and your heirs.
There are many ways to make a legacy gift, including:
- Bequests
- Outright Bequest
- Contingent Bequest or Trust Gift
- Life Insurance, Retirement & Bank Accounts
- Annuities & Trusts
- Charitable Remainder Trust
- Charitable Lead Trusts
- Charitable Gift Annuity

“Samaritans and SafePlace have been my lifeline. They taught me to grow and how to accept losing Edward. Leaving a bequest in my will is a wonderful way that I can give back — and help others avoid this terrible loss.”
