Naomi Janowitz and Andrew Lazarus were inspired to deepen their partnership with PIH after Andrew’s father, Arthur Lazarus, Jr., passed away in 2019. Arthur had devoted his career to Native American legal rights and training the next generation of Native American lawyers. For their family, supporting PIH’s work in the Navajo Nation felt like an opportunity to honor his values.
Recognizing that creating structural change in health care requires long-term commitment, Naomi and Andrew have decided to remember PIH in their estate plan with a legacy gift—a deferred gift by will, trust, annuity, or other accounts.
“Deciding which organizations to include in our legacy planning is an intergenerational decision in our family and our sons are deeply proud to continue their grandfather’s work.”
For those considering charitable estate plans, they offer: “Take your time. Look for something where your contributions will make a difference and will be spent with care.”
PIH’s legacy society, Tom’s Circle, is named after Tom White, a PIH co-founder and PIH’s first donor. Legacy gifts sustain PIH’s work by allowing the organization to be agile, innovative, and financially resilient.
