Keep Your Big Heart For Kids Beating!
Make a Gift in Your Will. Prevent a Child From Being Orphaned.
If you want to be part of something bigger, consider leaving a gift in your will to Wide Horizons For Children. Gifts in Wills are so important to a child welfare nonprofit like Wide Horizons, whose sole focus for more than 50 years has been to help the world’s most vulnerable children.
Without Gifts in Wills from people like you, we are unable to keep a child safe and secure within their family. We are unable to stop a family in crisis from breaking apart. We are unable to prevent a child from being orphaned.
Without the support from Gifts in Wills, an orphanage becomes the only solution for far too many vulnerable children around the world.
But you change that. You can provide another solution for these at-risk children. You can make sure we always have the funding to help stabilize a family before it reaches breaking point. You can make sure we always have the funding to help strengthen and empower a family, making them more resilient to any future crisis.
You can prevent another child from being orphaned.
There Are Two Easy Ways to Make a Gift in Your Will.
Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest can be made when you name WHFC in your will. This is ideal if you would like to do something meaningful with your assets after you pass on, but want to have access to your funds while you are enjoying life. This is a simple and flexible way to leave us a legacy gift. You may designate a percentage of your estate, a specific amount, or even a particular asset — e.g. cash, stocks, mutual funds, IRAs, or retirement funds.
Tax advantages include a federal estate-tax deduction and a state tax deduction for the amount of the bequest.
Beneficiary Designation
A beneficiary designation can be made when you name WHFC as a beneficiary. This is ideal for a donor who wants to maximize the value of their unused retirement plan or life-insurance assets. You can name WHFC as a beneficiary of qualifying retirement accounts, including IRA, 401K, and life insurance policies. You can also consider making WHFC a contingency beneficiary, in the event that the primary beneficiary is no longer living.
Tax advantages include federal estate-tax deduction for the amount of the gift and no income-tax liability for other beneficiaries of your estate. And 100% of the gift is disbursed directly from the custodian to WHFC.
