Leaving a gift to The Child Center of NY in your will or by beneficiary designation is a beautiful way to invest in the future of our youth and make a lasting impact. Many are surprised by how simple it is to make a significant difference for the charities they love by leaving a gift in their will or naming them as beneficiaries of a retirement plan or other financial accounts.
Planned giving is a win-win approach to philanthropic donations that supports The Child Center and can benefit you now or in the future. Simply put, planned giving transfers assets to The Child Center during your lifetime or as part of your estate plan. This forward-thinking approach to giving is “planned” because these assets are often not liquid, have tax consequences, and are generally transferred via a will or other written means.
