With the receipt of a gift from the Rasmussen estate, the Rauch Foundation was created in 1997 to establish both a culture and a vehicle of long-term fund development at Rauch, Inc. This tool enables the organization to weather changes in policy, funding, and client need over the years. To further improve our ability to be prepared for whatever the future brings, Rauch relies on you to be a partner in securing that future by considering an investment in the Rauch Foundation, either now or in your estate plan.

Far too often, organizations like Rauch only find out about a planned gift after it is too late to properly thank the donor for their generosity and foresight. If you have made such plans, please let us know so that we can properly thank you for your generosity.

If you would like to receive more information about making a planned gift, or would like to inform us of your will or estate plans which include Rauch, you may contact:

It is simple to make plans to benefit Rauch through your estate. The following is sample codicil language that can be used in making a bequest to the Rauch Foundation:

"I give to The Rauch Foundation, an Indiana not-for-profit corporation, located in New Albany, Indiana (insert here the sum, description of property, or percentage of residual estate). This gift is to be placed in said Foundation as endowment, from which a spending portion will be used to support the activities and programs of Rauch, Incorporated."

Rauch urges you to seek advice from a legal or financial professional of your choosing in all matters pertaining to a bequest or living trust.
