PLANNED Giving

Giving for a Lifetime to Save Lives

Some may think that planned giving is something only affluent donors do.

Did you know that most planned gift donors give small annual gifts year after year rather than larger donations?  Planned Giving to Save a Child’s Heart is an effective way to donate retirement plan assets, stocks, bonds, and other assets to support our mission to save the lives of children with congenital heart disease in developing countries.  

What is planned giving?

Simply put, planned giving is the transfer of assets to a designated nonprofit organization during a lifetime or as part of an estate plan. 

You can use planned giving now – such as through the donation of appreciated stocks – as a part of your tax strategy and philanthropic impact. It can also be a way for you to deepen your legacy and impact even after you are physically gone. 

This forward-thinking approach to giving is “planned” because often these assets are not liquid, have tax benefits and are generally transferred via a will or other written means.

Transferring assets is easy and it can provide tax benefits. Save a Child’s Heart accepts the following methods, and we will provide you with information regarding the procedures and benefits. Download the PDF to learn more about giving to Save a Child’s Heart through these methods.
