Plan Your Giving Day   October 1

The State of California legislature has declared October 1, 2010 as California Plan Your Giving Day, focusing on charitable giving in one's estate plan.

Join individuals and families in California who have agreed to leave a meaningful gift to their favorite charities in their estate plan. Because a financial situation from person to person changes, a meaningful gift can be significant to non profit organizations like Roseville Arts.
