Planned Giving

    
Planned giving provides ways for donors to ensure financial security for their families, as well as for the community organizations they believe in.  Planned gifts are usually deferred – they are arranged now and fulfilled later.  For example, a person could include a provision in his or her will to make a bequest to Champlain Valley Head Start.

There are a number of ways in which planned gifts to Champlain Valley Head Start can ensure the continued provision of high quality services to low-income children and families in Vermont.  Here are some planned giving options you may wish to consider: 

• Provide a bequest to Champlain Valley Head Start in your will. 
• Designate Champlain Valley Head Start as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or pension plan. 
• Establish a living trust or a charitable remainder trust that provides assets to Champlain Valley Head Start, while maintaining full use and benefit of those assets during your lifetime. 
• Contribute cash, real estate, personal property, insurance proceeds, or other assets – particularly those that would cost you high capital gains tax – to Champlain Valley Head Start. 

For more information regarding planned giving options, please contact CVHS Director, Paul Behrman, at (802) 651-4180 ext. 201. 

However you give, your tax-deductible gift will be put to use right away to help children and families thrive.
