You believe in the work of Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation, and you
want to ensure that we will be a force for good in the lives of generations
of individuals to come. You want your gift to make a difference for us, but
are concerned about your own future financial needs and those of your family.
We deeply appreciate your assistance, and try to make it
as rewarding for you as it is for us. That's why we want you to know about
the financial tools you can use to plan your gift to us so that it returns
benefits to you:
You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you
can give us appreciated securities instead,
and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll get for
it today.
You may be holding assets that would benefit Connecticut Children's Medical Center Foundation more
than they do you — such as a life
insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real
estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of
books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your
lifetime — make us a beneficiary of your will
or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement
plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted.
These tools are called planned gifts, and this website
is the place to learn more about them. Where to start? If you already know
something about your giving options, click on Ways to Give
Wisely and go right to the planned gifts that you want to read more about.
If you're not sure how a gift can meet both your charitable and personal goals,
first go to Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely to
learn how planned gifts work and how they can stretch your giving ability.
