Planned Gifts

Including Little Friends in your long-term plans is a wonderful way to help assure the continuation and growth of the agency. This can be accomplished through planned gifts such as bequests, annuities, securities, life insurance and charitable remainder trusts.

Planned giving enables an individual to make a charitable gift of estate assets to an organization of their choice during their lifetime or through a will or testament. Planned gifts provide enhanced tax benefits and many types of planned gifts are designed to give income back to a donor during his or her lifetime. Almost all planned gifts provide a tax deduction, either as an income tax charitable deduction now, or an estate tax charitable deduction later. Consider making a gift to Little Friends through a cash, stock or real estate donation. You might also consider designating Little Friends as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, will or retirement plan.

We encourage you to meet with your personal financial planner and/or attorney to make the necessary arrangements. If you would like to learn more about how you can make a charitable gift to Little Friends, please contact Chief Financial Officer Julee Gard at (630) 355-6533.
