Legacy Leaders

Hear from four local investors on why they decided to plan their giving with Bellevue LifeSpring.

Nancy and Doug Boyden

“We are honored to include Bellevue LifeSpring in our Endowment and Planned Giving because we trust the organization from our partnership with its staff and leaders over many years. We know that our dollars will be spent efficiently to help the thousands of at-risk students right here in Bellevue. We also know our dollars will be used in perpetuity because Bellevue LifeSpring is focused on using an endowment to end hunger and meet the full needs of our community.”

Trish and Collin Carpenter

“We made our decision to put Bellevue LifeSpring into our will because we believe in the organization and wanted it to be a significant component of our planned giving. We have been supporters of Bellevue LifeSpring for several decades and are aware of the constantly rising costs to meet growing needs. Bellevue LifeSpring has been meeting these needs for over the past 100+ years. We simply want to help ensure that there is a permanent way to serve our community, and this is one guaranteed way to do it.”

Ken Russell

“I was inspired to plan my giving because I believe in the mission of Bellevue LifeSpring and the work they have done for the children of Bellevue. I considered many factors when I decided to include Bellevue LifeSpring in my estate planning. The organization’s efforts are effective and efficient, and they have proven to make good use of investments and donations. I knew the organization was the right fit for my planning. Bellevue LifeSpring is an organization that really cares about the children in our community, present and future.”

Joan and John Valaas

“We have put Bellevue LifeSpring in our will because we would like to leave a permanent legacy of support to those in need in our community. The need is growing every day, and we believe the best way to help alleviate the challenges is to commit an investment from our estate that will allow Bellevue LifeSpring to continue to grow and adapt to these changing needs.”
