Leave 95% to your family. Leave 5% to your community.
A simple idea with extraordinary impact. By leaving just 5% of your estate to support Northern Colorado, you can help create permanent charitable resources that strengthen our communities for generations to come.
About the Initiative
Over the next several decades, an unprecedented transfer of wealth will occur across our region. Legacy 5 is a community-wide initiative encouraging individuals and families to dedicate a small portion of their estate, just 5%, to charitable causes and community impact.
Together, these gifts can create transformational resources that remain in Northern Colorado forever.
NoCo Foundation serves as a trusted steward, helping donors turn their values into lasting community impact.
Why 5%?
Because small percentages can create enormous change.
Most people can leave 95% of their estate to loved ones while dedicating 5% to strengthen the community that helped shape their lives. When many people participate, the collective impact becomes extraordinary.
