Planned Giving at The Children's Aid Society

Welcome to the planned giving Web site of The Children's Aid Society. Planned gifts can benefit Children's Aid while helping you to save taxes, increase your income and pass more on to your heirs.

What is Planned Giving? At its simplest level, a planned gift is one that requires more effort than writing a check. On a more detailed level, a planned gift is most often a part of your estate plan, bringing multiple benefits and great flexibility to you as the donor.

Did you know that...

• You can receive income for life in exchange for a gift?
• Giving appreciated property, like stocks or real estate, costs less than giving the equivalent amount in cash?
• Some assets can benefit you more if you give them away?
• Some gifts cost nothing now, but leave a legacy later?
• Some gifts allow you to pass more on to your heirs and save taxes?
