Gift Planning
Make 4KIDS and the vision of a home for every child a part of your legacy through thoughtful gift planning. Your heartfelt and generous gift to children in crisis ensures a brighter tomorrow for future generations.
As a legacy donor, you extend your impact beyond a cash donation, and you may also reserve important benefits for you and your loved ones. From stocks and bonds, to IRAs, to real estate, and personal property—our giving options provide the flexibility to leave a lasting impact with your assets.
We're here to help you take your first step and identify ways that can offer benefits for your family through 4KIDS.
Start your gift planning by contacting Joel Ceballo at GiftPlanning@4KIDS.us.
Marketable Securities
By giving marketable securities, such as stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or mutual fund shares, you can see your giving in action by restoring the lives of children in crisis. Receive a charitable income tax deduction, and avoid paying capital gains tax, by giving stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, or bonds. Simply transfer shares of one or more publicly traded securities to 4KIDS.
Estate Planning
Make plans today in your will and trust by considering 4KIDS as a beneficiary and make an eternal difference.
Insurance
If your life insurance policy has outlasted its original purpose, consider designating 4KIDS as the plan’s owner and beneficiary. Whether we keep the policy until maturity or redeem the policy for its full value, your generous gift will result in a charitable income tax deduction. You may also choose to keep the ownership, but make 4KIDS the beneficiary.
IRA & Retirement Plans
Making 4KIDS the beneficiary of a retirement plan or IRA enables you to turn any unused retirement assets into another way to make an impact. Avoid potential estate tax—and income taxes on retirement assets—by designating 4KIDS as the beneficiary of your IRA. As a non-profit organization inheriting your retirement assets, our ministry will not pay the taxes either.
Real Estate
Whether you’re ready to donate your investment property or would like to pass along a portion of your property, the gift of real estate will leave a legacy and benefits beyond your lifetime. An independent appraisal enables you to base your donation on fair market value, resulting in a charitable income tax deduction. If appropriately handled with our help, capital gains taxes may also be avoided.
