Flexible Giving: Change Your Mind, Not Your Will or Trust

We understand that priorities shift. If you want to support a different charity after finalizing your will, PCF allows easy updates, without legal fees. Since your will names PCF as the beneficiary, we simply amend your Future Fund Agreement.
It’s simple, flexible, and stress-free.
