What is Legacy Giving?
Legacy giving—also called planned or estate giving—is the act of including a charitable organization in your will or financial plans. It ensures your values continue shaping the future long after today.
The Heather Cutler Foundation was created from Heather’s own compassion. In her final wish, she asked that donations be made to Craig’s Cause Pancreatic Cancer Society instead of flowers. That gesture sparked an outpouring of kindness that supported many families and continues to guide our mission.
Including The Heather Cutler Foundation in your estate plans carries that same spirit forward—strengthening equitable healthcare, empowering patients, and supporting innovation that transforms lives.
