For more information on the topic of this video visit http://www.leavealegacysoutheastmichigan.org. Items discussed include the ease with which individuals from all income levels and all walks of life can make an impact by donating to local charitable organizations, both in life and after death through charity bequests. Tax benefits of planned giving and the preparation of documents such as wills and estate plans also are discussed.
Hosted by University of Michigan Attorney and Leave a Legacy Washtenaw County Co-Chair Donna Snyder, part one of this episode of Access Ann Arbor features guests Chris Belcher, Vice President and Trust Officer for Comerica Wealth & Institutional Management in Ann Arbor, and Marie Seddon, Executive Director of United Methodist Retirement Communities (UMRC) Heritage Foundation in Chelsea.
LEAVE A LEGACY® Southeast Michigan is a nine-county-wide campaign encouraging people to name non-profit organizations in their wills. The campaign, which is driven by the efforts of volunteers from non-profit groups, and financial, estate planning and law firms, is sponsored by the Planned Giving Roundtable of Southeast Michigan — a group of professionals in legal, financial, and allied fields as well as fundraising professionals whose focus is planned giving.
The campaign resulted from a growing concern for non-profit organizations, who because of increasingly less government funding, are fighting to exist. And the problem worsens because this forces non-profit groups to rely more on public support; however, although 81.5% of people in Southeast Michigan give annually, only 2.8% leave a charitable bequest at death. LEAVE A LEGACY is addressing this problem by educating people about the importance of planned gifts for the charities we depend on and support.

Former Microsoft executive John Wood discusses hand-delivering a load of donated books to a rural village in Nepal, an experience that inspired him to quit his job and start the international non-profit organization “Room to Read.”

John Wood discusses “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World: An Entrepreneur’s Odyssey to Educate the World’s Children”
In 1998, John Wood was a rising executive at Microsoft when he took a vacation that changed his life. What started as a trekking holiday in Nepal became a spiritual journey, and then a mission: to change the world one book and one child at a time. So upon returning from holiday, John did what most of us can only dream of doing: he walked away from millions to do “more”. Over the next five years he would make the unlikely marriage between Microsoft business practices and the world of non-profits to create Room to Read, an organization that has created a network of over 2,000 schools and libraries (with over one million books) throughout communities in Southeast Asia and India.
