Ways to Give Wisely

You don't have to use cash to make a gift to The Children's Aid Society.

  • You can give appreciated securities instead, using an asset that cost you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today.

  • You can make a substantial gift to us through a transfer of residential, commercial, or undeveloped real estate.

  • You can give us an interest in a closely-held or family business.

  • You can give us personal property like books, artwork or equipment, and secure a charitable income tax deduction.

You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.

  • Your bequest ensures that we can meet our goals tomorrow -- without affecting your assets today.

  • We offer a wise charitable alternative to the double taxation that awaits your retirement plan in your estate.

  • You can turn surplus life insurance coverage into a charitable gift to Children's Aid, or use a new policy to create an endowment from income instead of capital.

You can partner with The Children's Aid Society in your giving.

  • You can receive payments for life, taxed more attractively than most other income plans, if you create a charitable gift annuity.

  • Deferred gift annuities offer younger donors a life-income gift that can boost their retirement earnings.

  • Your gift can return income that helps you meet many family obligations with the most flexible gift plan available -- a charitable remainder unitrust.

  • You can combine flexible management of your gift and a predictable, fixed-income payout with a charitable remainder annuity trust.

  • You can give Children's Aid your house through a retained life estate and continue to live there rent-free.

  • A part-gift/part-sale transaction called a charitable bargain sale gives you a charitable deduction and cash to purchase your next home.

  • You can increase your estate for your children while delivering years of income to Children's Aid with a charitable lead trust.

  • Make a gift to our pooled life income fund, and receive both income back and the benefits of a charitable mutual fund.
