For Your Advisor

We are honored when planned giving donors choose to share their intentions with us. We consider these gifts as investments with the potential to exponentially impact the lives of local children and families we strive to assist. We consider estate donors to be our Best Friends!

We understand that estate donors may have reservations about sharing their intentions with charitable organizations. To address any concerns, we want to assure you, your clients, and all our donors that we make a solemn promise. We will not communicate excessively or pry into the specifics of your gift. We simply want to say thank you and give these special donors a sense of the impact of their gift, long before the gift arrives.
