Ways To Give

It’s a Win-Win!

Sponsoring a Momentum event provides you and/or your organization with the unique opportunity to strategically connect with the greater Los Angeles community, further your corporate philanthropy mission, build brand awareness, engage employees and demonstrate your company’s support of individuals with varied abilities.

Each Momentum event reaches a different key audience segment and provides a fun, entertaining and engaging way for you to “wow” clients, vendors and employees. Feel good about supporting some of the most vulnerable and at-risk members of our community.

Strategic sponsorship packages are available for each event, or a specialized package can be created to optimize your exposure at multiple events throughout the year. We will tailor your package to suit your marketing and community engagement strategies.

Art of Care: Since 1944, the skilled artisans on UCPLA’s staff have been perfecting the art of care. Their craftsmanship and compassion have helped shape our program participants into true works of art that contribute to and enhance our communities. The Art of Care honors their efforts and recognizes individuals, inside and outside our organization, who work to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of those with developmental disabilities. Since our inaugural event in 2015, the Art of Care has drawn sold-out crowds of over 400 guests and grossed nearly $1.5 million.

Legacy Society

Your planned gift to Momentum will have meaning and impact for years to come. We honor those who have made a lasting commitment by including charitable gifts to Momentum in their estate plans.

Those who remember Momentum in a will, trust, designation or other planned gift, are invited to join the Legacy Society. Too often, these gifts are unrecognized because they come at the end of the donors’ lives. The Legacy Society provides a way to recognize and thank a very special group of people during their lifetimes who desire to create a lasting legacy of hope by including Momentum in their estate planning.

Commitment to the Legacy Society gives you the opportunity to enjoy the company of others who, like yourself, care about leaving a legacy to protect and strengthen this community. Members receive a Legacy Society commemorative pin, recognition on the Momentum donor wall, recognition in publications and on our website.

You may always choose to remain anonymous in your philanthropy with Momentum. However, participation in the Legacy Society can be an inspirational experience and may encourage others to look toward the future and how they too may have an enduring impact on the causes they care about.

Only a statement of intent to leave a gift to Momentum is required. No documentation of gift amount or type is necessary. If you’ve already included Momentum in your will, we encourage you to let us know so that we may honor you as a member of the Legacy Society.

By definition, a legacy is “anything received from or passed on by an ancestor.” A legacy can be given in many ways, including money, securities, property and life insurance policies. Regardless of the value, a legacy gift to Momentum stands as a living tribute to individuals who care about people with developmental disabilities.

A member of Momentum staff can answer questions about including a bequest in your will, making Momentum a beneficiary on a retirement account, setting up a charitable trust, or other ways to create a legacy gift. We invite you to explore the many options with us.

If you have included Momentum in your will or estate plans, please fill out the simple form below so we can welcome you into The Legacy Society. You can also contact us by email or by calling 818-782-2211.

Thank you for your interest in creating a lasting legacy for people with developmental disabilities. (Clickable link to Lasting Legacy uploaded file)
