Significant gifts through an individual’s will or revocable living trusts are vital to the long term vision for both the vulnerable children we serve and the Care For Kids Foundation. Such gifts (collectively referred to as “estate gifts”) are completed only at the death of the donor and/or a surviving beneficiary. |
|
NOTE: All documents conveying estate gifts, including wills, trust agreements, and beneficiary designations, should name the “Care For Kids Foundation” as the recipient. |
|
Types of Estate Gifts Estate gifts may provide for a specific dollar amount in cash, specific securities, specific articles of tangible personal property or a percentage of the residue of the estate. They may also be contingent, ensuring that in the event all intended beneficiaries predecease the donor(s), the property will pass to the Care For Kids Foundation rather than unintended beneficiaries. |
|
Restricted vs. Unrestricted Estate Gifts Estate gifts may be restricted or unrestricted. Unrestricted bequests support general purposes; for example, current needs of the Care For Kids Foundation as directed by the Board of Directors. In contrast, restricted bequests fund a certain purpose or program designated by the donor. A donor may designate a testamentary gift by stating that the money received go “to the Care For Kids Foundation for the benefit of….(name the particular Care For Kids Foundation program or service).” |
|
Establishing An Endowment to be Funded by an Estate Gift Upon a donor’s death, money received as an estate gift may be used to finance an endowment fund. Endowments may be established in the name of an individual or family and may be used to fund programs, scholarships, capacity building and other initiatives to further the goodwill of the foundation. Such funds can be setup during the donor’s lifetime, funded upon the donor’s death and are designed to continue in perpetuity to support the Care For Kids Foundation. |
|
Estate Gifts to Benefit Loved Ones As part of an estate gift, donors may also direct income to be paid to survivors before the assets come to the Care For Kids Foundation. The bequest can be used to establish a charitable remainder trust. If such a gift is made by will, the principal will pass to the Care For Kids Foundation only after the death of the life income beneficiary(ies). |
