What can planned giving do for you? Planning and making a charitable gift to an organization that is important to you is a satisfying and effective way for you to accomplish your goals as well as provide short and/or long term support to the organizations that you are passionate about. At the same time, you can manage your estate in a way that is meaningful and effective for you. How can planned giving help me keep my home? How can I transfer my business effectively? A wide variety of options are available to help you meet your charitable and financial objectives now and in the future. For example, you may donate a personal residence to a charity, but retain your right to live in it for life. And, a charitable gift annuity lets you transfer cash or other assets to a charity in exchange for a promise to pay you an annuity for life. Whichever option(s) you choose, your gift will make a strong impact on families and will have a meaningful and lasting difference on children and families in our community. You should consult with your professional tax advisor or fund custodian to implement any of these options. Do you want to give now? Here are some ways to make a gift today: Cash Gifts Make a gift with cash, check or credit card (VISA, Mastercard).
