The Max & Clara Legacy Society

The Max & Clara Legacy Society is named in honor of Major Max C. Fleischmann and Clara Hinton Gould who gave generously to establish the Santa Barbara Foundation, influenced other benefactors to join with them, and ultimately left planned gifts as their legacy to our community. By leaving the Santa Barbara Foundation in your estate plans, you will be recognized as a member and receive invitations to our annual celebration luncheon.

About Bequests

Do you want to ensure that your charitable intentions are met long after your lifetime? Including a charitable bequest in your will is a simple way to make a lasting gift to your community. When you make this type of gift through the foundation, we can establish a fund managed by your heirs or overseen by the foundation. Your gift can be endowed so that it benefits the community forever and becomes your personal legacy of giving.
