Keep Your Love for the Children Alive!
You have empowered many struggling children to become lifelong learners by volunteering your time and making enduring gifts. Your passion and care for the children in your community has seen so many of them rise to their God-given potential. Because you care deeply about the kids, I wanted to share another way you can make an enduring impact by creating a will.
You’ve already demonstrated your dedication to children and youth by generously contributing to the work we do for the kids, and we are incredibly grateful for your support. If you haven’t already, I encourage you to consider extending your impact even further by including Children Rising in your will or trust.
A gift in your will could be the most important charitable gift you ever make!
August is National Make-A-Will Month.
It is your opportunity to make a lasting, generational impact in your community. One that reflects your values and uplifts eager children!
Consider this:
- Long-Term Impact: Your legacy will continue to provide children and families a fairer chance to succeed in school and life for generations to come. By allocating a portion of your estate to Children Rising, you provide them with the one-on-one, caring support they need to thrive in school.
-
Your values, your legacy: Estate planning allows you to customize your giving to reflect your personal values and passions. A gift in your will is a way to ensure that your passion for the children remains alive and well!
- Tax Benefits: Estate planning can offer potential tax advantages for your heirs while making a lasting, generational impact in your community. It’s a way to optimize your financial planning while continuing to provide children a fairer chance to succeed in school … and in life.
- Inspiring Others: Your decision to include Children Rising in your will can inspire others to do the same. Your actions set a powerful example to your family and friends and encourage a culture of philanthropy that transcends generations.
