Much of the fundraising we do focuses on our current needs and our supporters’ current philanthropic priorities. But longer-term contributions — including planned giving and bequests — are also essential to our continued ability to fight for child welfare reforms on behalf of abused and neglected children throughout the nation.

There are several ways of making a bequest to Children’s Rights:

• Specific bequests, as their name implies, enable you to bequeath an amount of your choice, usually in the form of a cash distribution.
• Residuary bequests allow you to leave a remainder or percentage of your estate to Children’s Rights.
• Contingency bequests make your gift contingent on special circumstances.

If you’re interested in remembering Children’s Rights in your will — or learning more about the many other ways of supporting our work — please contact Joan Siffert, senior director of development, at 212.683.2210.
