Over the years, your generosity has aided Americans for Safe Access in defending patients and expanding safe, legal access to medical cannabis. By making ASA part of your estate plans, you extend that commitment into the future—laying the groundwork for a national medical cannabis program fully integrated into U.S. healthcare.
A legacy gift ensures that safe access isn’t just protected today, but secured for generations to come.
Legacy Giving Matters
Legacy Giving is a significant source of funding for nonprofits in the United States, accounting for approximately 10% of all charitable giving. In 2024, this amounted to roughly $45.8 billion in donations.
Legacy gifts provide the stability ASA needs to plan for the long term—to protect patients’ rights, fund critical research, and advocate for federal reforms that integrate medical cannabis into healthcare.
Your foresight helps ensure that millions of patients can access safe, effective medicine for years to come.
When you include ASA in your estate plans, you are helping to guarantee that the voices of patients and caregivers continue to shape national policy long after today’s challenges.
Ways to Give
1. Bequests (Wills & Trusts)
Include ASA in your will or living trust. A simple clause can direct a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a residual gift after other obligations are met.
2. Beneficiary Designations
Name ASA as a beneficiary on your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or bank/brokerage account. It’s as simple as filling out a form with your plan administrator.
3. Gifts of Stock or Securities
Donating appreciated assets can provide tax advantages while supporting ASA’s mission. Transfer instructions.
4. Charitable Remainder Trusts & Other Planned Gifts
For those with larger estates, more complex instruments can provide income to loved ones while leaving a charitable remainder to ASA.
5. Memorial Gifts
Instead of sending flowers, family and friends are invited to make a donation to ASA in your memory or in honor of a loved one.
If you wish to include ASA in your will or trust, your attorney can use this suggested language:
