Long-time supporter and fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee, A.R. “Rick” Johnson, explains his personal mission this way: “I believe our most important calling and purpose is to care for others, and nothing is more fundamental to that than feeding those who are hungry and food insecure.” A dedicated advocate for fighting hunger in East Tennessee, Rick’s leadership was instrumental in the campaign to raise funds to build the current Second Harvest facility in Maryville. His commitment to food security and community service inspired the creation of the A.R. Johnson Legacy Society to promote legacy giving through estate planning.
Second Harvest partnered with PYA Waltman Capital, a local wealth management firm, to launch the A.R. Johnson Legacy Society at the East Tennessee History Center on June 24. PYA Waltman Capital is passionate about supporting Second Harvest and committed to raising awareness of the simple, accessible ways anyone can support nonprofits, both during their lifetime and as part of their legacy.
A planned gift allows you to make a lasting contribution reflecting the values and passions important to you. Establishing a planned gift allows you to provide for your loved ones while also ensuring nonprofits like Second Harvest receive the financial support needed for generations to come.
This form of charitable giving makes a lasting impact on the community and involves an individual’s assets or estate rather than current income. You can arrange to make a planned gift in several ways, including a will. Many people set aside a certain dollar amount or leave a percentage of their estate after their lifetime. Some planned gifts can be designed to accomplish certain financial goals, such as reducing your tax obligation. Bequests allow individuals to make larger gifts than they otherwise could during their lifetime.
