Bequests:

A Gift That Costs Nothing During Your Lifetime

Philanthropy is a Calling

What Is Planned Giving?

Planned giving allows anyone to make a substantial contribution to
One World Children's Fund — regardless of income or financial status. It is a way to level the playing field, giving everyone a chance to become a philanthropist and make a difference. And it provides significant financial benefits to you as well.

Here’s how:

Some planned gifts provide lifelong income to the donor (yes, you read that correctly). Other gift plans significantly reduce taxes that would otherwise take a big chunk out of your loved ones’ inheritance — providing for both charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift while minimizing its impact on your estate.

In short, a planned gift is any major gift that is part of a donor’s overall financial planning.

Tip of the week

You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime.

When you make a gift through your will or trust (called a “bequest”), you help guarantee our future financial strength without affecting your current asset balance or cash flow. It’s the easiest major gift and has a far-reaching impact.
