Planned Giving

Gifts made through a will, charitable gift annuities, life insurance, and numerous other options continue a legacy of giving in the years ahead. Some people seek to share blessings through giving methods that take into consideration their financial, tax, and estate planning objectives.

  • Wills. If you plan to make a charitable gift by will, please think it through carefully. Then, meet with your attorney to discuss and update your will. Tell him or her exactly what you want to do. Be as clear as possible in describing what you want given to whom.
  • Charitable Gift Annuities. The concept of the charitable gift annuity in dates back to the 1870s, when a parishioner first donated a valuable asset to a church in exchange for a flow of income. Today, the concept includes valuable tax benefits for donors. But perhaps more valuable than the financial advantages is the satisfaction donors gain by helping to continue the mission and good works of Children's Restoration Network.
  • Life Insurance. You can donate a life insurance policy to us or simply name us as the beneficiary. For the gift of a paid-up policy, you will receive an income tax deduction equal to the lesser of the cash value of the policy or the total premiums paid. To qualify for the federal charitable contribution deduction on a gift of an existing policy, you must name us as owner and beneficiary.
