Planned Gifts

It's no secret that the programs of TLC depend upon your goodwill. Planned gifts enable many donors to make a more substantial gift to TLC. Donors receive tax benefits for both themselves and their heirs. This can enhance a donor's own financial situation while making a lasting contribution and meaningful impact to TLC's goals and interests in children and families. There are many easy giving options from which you can choose-strategies that enhance your personal well being, as well as TLC.

What to Give

Gifts of Cash
Making a donation of cash is as simple as writing a check or authorizing a charge on your credit card. From your standpoint, it's no fuss, no bother.

Gifts of Securities
Stock that has increased in value is one of the most popular assets used for charitable giving, once it has been held for a minimum of a year. Making a gift of securities to us offers you the chance to help our organization while realizing many important benefits for yourself.

Gifts of Real Estate
Using real estate, such as your house, farm or commercial property, to fund a gift allows you to preserve your cash assets, receive significant tax and income advantages, and make a larger charitable gift than anticipated.

Gifts of Life Insurance
Donating your life insurance could be a wonderful way to fulfill your desire to support our work. By making TLC Child & Family Services the beneficiary of an existing policy, you make good use of your resources and expand your ability to make a significant gift.

Gifts of In-Kind Donations are materials and services given in lieu of a financial donation. In-Kind materials could be anything from children's books to computer equipment to gift certificates.
