Planned Giving

Leave Behind A Legacy

Planned giving is a powerful tool to ensure that children and families served through Rebekah Children's Services will receive support beyond your lifetime. Some thoughtful preparation on your part today can bring hope, strength, and a positive future to children and families of tomorrow. Whether it is sending a young boy on his first camping trip, providing music lessons to a young girl, or building a future vocational school for young adolescents, your support will create lifelong memories and a future of hope.

Perhaps what's most important is the fact that having a will or trust ensures your property will pass to those you care about. Without a will, state law determines how your assets will be divided. But there's another reason that a will is important: What you put in your will is what people will remember you by. Your will gives you the opportunity to transfer the values that are important to you and ensure they continue forth in the future. And one of the best ways to leave a legacy like this is to make charitable bequests in your will.

Remembering Rebekah Children's Services in your will is a fitting testimony of your belief in our mission.

When the time comes for your will to be probated, you won't be here to correct any confusions. To avoid trouble for your heirs, be sure to seek the counsel of an attorney who specializes in probate and estate planning.

If you're planning to create a deferred gift to Rebekah Children's Services, we would be happy to work with your attorney and financial advisors to find the method that works best for you.
