Legacy and Gift Planning
Meet your financial goals while providing support that will continue to make life better for children.
Every day, Children’s Health provides exceptional care to the patients and families we serve. Creating your own legacy of giving allows you to provide continued momentum for Children’s Health to pursue the highest-quality care and groundbreaking discoveries that treat and improve the health of future generations.
Thoughtfully structuring gifts can provide for your family’s financial well-being and meet your charitable objectives. Creative gift planning may also help you eliminate capital gains taxes. Gifts made from non-liquid assets such as securities or real estate and can even offer a secured lifetime income stream.
We invite you into a lifelong philanthropic journey with us, allowing you to engage in the peace of providing for those that you care for and the joy of giving both in life and in legacy. Our gift planners will walk with you in finding methods that will most effectively reach your goals.
