The CPNP Foundation’s bequest program offers a chance to start building your legacy now, whether you’re 25, 95, or anywhere in between. By committing to a Legacy Gift, your values are on full display. Although the CPNP Foundation does not receive any money upfront, this action tells your friends, family, and your colleagues that the future of psychiatric pharmacy is important and that you are committed to the profession and to the improvement of patient care. Death is unpredictable, and people are going to remember you for the legacy you built during your life.

Legacy Gifts are often linked with death, and rightly so. These gifts are made after someone passes away and are typically documented in a will, retirement account, or insurance policy. Have you ever thought about the impact a Legacy Gift can make during your life?

The CPNP Foundation’s bequest program offers a chance to start building your legacy now, whether you’re 25, 95, or anywhere in between. By committing to a Legacy Gift, your values are on full display. Although the CPNP Foundation does not receive any money upfront, this action tells your friends, family, and your colleagues that the future of psychiatric pharmacy is important and that you are committed to the profession and to the improvement of patient care. Death is unpredictable, and people are going to remember you for the legacy you built during your life. We hope these commitments encourage others to contribute financially to our initiatives and help to ensure the future of the Foundation’s work.

There are multiple ways to plan ahead for a Legacy Gift:

  1. Include a bequest provision in your Will
  2. Use your retirement account
  3. Use your life insurance

We recommend consulting with a lawyer and a financial representative to determine the best way for you to make a gift. After you have decided how you would like to make your commitment, complete the Foundation's Bequest Notification Form and return it to the CPNP Foundation via email at info@cpnpf.org or by mail (CPNP Foundation, 8055 O Street, Ste. S113, Lincoln, NE 68510). This form is not a legal document, and your commitment can be changed at any time.  

“I find it very gratifying to know that even in death, I will be supporting the CPNP Foundation, an organization with values aligned very closely with my own, as the Foundation continues to support students and residents, to improve access to care, and to expand availability of resources for patients, caregivers, and pharmacists. There is so much more that needs to be done.” – Barbara Wells, a CPNP Foundation Legacy Partner

Thank you to all of our current Legacy Partners, and thank you to everyone who is considering a Legacy Gift. We welcome your questions at info@cpnpf.org.
