There are two types of planned giving.
Legacy Giving
Is a powerful process in which donors commit to charitable contributions to non-profits well beyond their lifetime. These donors, known as legacy givers, include nonprofits in their estate plans, designating gifts such as cash, property, or investments to support their mission after they pass away. The impact of legacy giving in our community is profound, and your contributions will make a significant difference in the lives of children.
Bequest
This is a way for donors to leave money, property, or assets to a nonprofit in their will. Donors can designate a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of their estate, or specific assets to be transferred to an organization upon passing. Bequests are one of the most common and straightforward forms of legacy giving because they give donors the flexibility to support causes close to their hearts while ensuring their wishes are fulfilled after they’re gone.
Consider making a meaningful donation in your will or trust.
Your financial support is not just important; it's the backbone of our mission. It enables us to support the juvenile court in making better-informed decisions and help children in our community overcome the trauma of abuse and neglect while preparing them for a prosperous future. Whether you can make a one-time donation or are interested in including CASA of Tulare County in your will, your support at all levels ensures every child has a voice. You can help an abused or neglected child by committing a future legacy gift to CASA of Tulare County.
When you include us in your estate plan, your generosity will:
-
Leave a legacy by showing your dedication to giving hope to children in our community.
-
Protect the most vulnerable children for years to come.
-
Help us continue to recruit, screen, train, and support our volunteers.
-
Ensure that we can continue our vital work well into the future.
Rest assured, we promise to handle your gift with the highest ethical standards and confidentiality. We understand the sensitivity of your decision and assure you that your information will be treated with the utmost care. We also encourage you to consult with your attorney to determine the best plan for you and discuss how planned giving may help reduce your taxes.
