Retained Life Estate Life Insurance
Planned giving options can help you make more out of donated funds, regardless of your age or income level. Endowments, Bequests, Charitable Annuities, Charitable Trusts, and other financial tools allow you to control the impact of your gift; right now and well into the future.
Donated stocks, life insurance plans, and 401K accounts can be priceless blessings to orphans, and at the same time provide you with immediate and long-term benefits that could include tax savings, financial security for your family, or even a fixed income.
Restrict your gift to the projects, countries, or regions you choose, or designate funds in support of the current needs of orphans. Children's Hope will provide you with reports updates, and other information according to your preference: annually, semi-annually, or as projects are completed. Our Development Aid staff is ready to work with you!
