Did you know there are creative ways to support Alaska Children’s Trust? Ways in which ACT, you, and your loved ones all benefit at the same time?
“Planned gifts” allow you to leave a powerful legacy of giving and upstream prevention, helping ensure Alaska’s children, youth, and families have what they need to thrive for generations to come.
What can legacy gifts do for Alaska Children’s Trust?
Legacy gifts in your will provide continuous support to Alaska Children’s Trust and allow us to provide the resources, supports, knowledge, and tools needed for the upstream prevention of child abuse and neglect in Alaska.
Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or support Alaska Children’s Trust later, there are charitable options available to provide you tax benefits and help ensure ACT will continue to support families and children for years to come.
70%
Nearly 70% of American adults don’t have an updated legal will, despite it being an essential document to protect the people and causes you love.
You can create a will for free at freewill.com here or use another service that allows you to create a will.
Supporters are essential partners in prevention for Alaska Children’s Trust. When you include ACT in your will, you ensure that we can help families and children to thrive for generations to come.
“As an Alaskan who spends most of my time outdoors, my adventures can sometimes take me to dangerous places, but knowing both mine and my daughter’s futures are secure since making a will gives me reassurance and the freedom to explore! Plus, leaving a gift for causes I believe in ensures my passions and dreams live on in the organizations I support.”
ACT accepts many types of planned gifts. Please consult with your financial advisor or estate attorney as you consider your planned giving options.
Example language for you or your lawyer/estate planner to consider:
For a general gift of a certain percentage or portion of your estate: “I give to Alaska Children’s Trust [#] % of my estate.”
For a gift of a specific asset: “I give [#] shares of [name] stock to Alaska Children’s Trust.”
For a contingent bequest, which takes effect only when certain conditions are met: “In the event my spouse does not survive me, I give to Alaska Children’s Trust the remainder of my estate.”
For a residual bequest, which directs the disposition of all or a portion of whatever remains after all other required amounts are paid: “I give the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to Alaska Children’s Trust.”
