Darnell and Angelyn Clay are typical hard-working Louisville residents. Their priorities are raising their children, providing for their family, working hard and enjoying life.

Darnell was a manager at a local shipping company where he worked for more than 20 years. He was preparing for retirement about the time the company’s stock went public.

Like many other long-time employees, the Clays were heavily invested in the company’s stock. After selling a percentage of their stock back, the Clays were about to receive a large sum of cash. Their tax attorney encouraged them to create a charitable trust.

As a part of the trust, the Clay’s designated six local non-profit organizations that will receive a portion of their estate after they die. “We selected agencies that are important to us,” said Clay. “We want to leave a lasting gift,” he added. Two organizations include his church and Family & Children First. The others include four human service agencies.

“It’s the right thing to do,” he said. “We know that we are blessed.”
