Make your legacy bright

with planned giving

Leave a lasting impact

The Paul Nye Legacy Society recognizes the impact of former GHNPSS Executive Director, Paul Nye, who dedicated himself to growing our reach in the community and ensuring our fiscal health. For over 50 years, Paul has dedicated his career to improving the lives of individuals and communities. He has been drawn to work with underserved populations such as seniors, at-risk youth, and families, and those with disabilities. With a laser focus on serving people, he crafted a personalized approach to fundraising and administration. He always includes the “who” when cultivating donors and partners. Countless friends of SPARK Senior Centers fondly recall breakfasts with Paul and his passionate fundraising that always included stories of lives impacted by donations made to our Centers. Paul inspired our community, and we are proud to recognize him, along with his wife Anna Marie Lombardi, as the inaugural member of The Paul Nye Legacy Society for his dedication to our organization and our senior community.

There are multiple ways to join The Paul Nye Legacy Society:

  • Legacy Member – Commit to a gift to SPARK Senior Centers through a bequest in your will, an insurance policy, or charitable trust/annuity.
