Give a Legacy

You can secure continued support for DC’s most vulnerable children by including the Children’s Law Center in your estate plans.

Help ensure that CLC can continue helping over 1,000 children each year by making a bequest— your legacy will help DC’s children into the future. Bequests, life income gifts and other estate-planning arrangements provide vital support to sustain our programs.

Gifts tied to your estate give you the flexibility to support CLC now, as well as in the future. In addition, they often help reduce capital gains, income and estate taxes.

Arrangements such as life income gifts can provide you with income for life while greatly reducing your tax burden. A charitable lead trust offers you an opportunity to pass property to heirs at a reduced transfer cost. And by including the Children’s Law Center as a beneficiary of a financial, retirement or insurance plan, you are able to leave a lasting legacy of love to the neediest children of DC. Please consult your financial advisor for more information about legacy giving options.

Please contact the development department at 202.467.4900 x571 or development@childrenslawcenter.org to learn more about estate planning options to support the ongoing work of the Children’s Law Center.
