More ways to give:

  • Leave a legacy with CLC! Through a provision made in your will (known as a bequest), you stipulate that Children’s Law Center will receive cash and/or other assets at the time of your death. You can choose to designate that the bequest be used for a general or specific purpose, so you have the peace of mind knowing that your gift will be used as intended. Bequests are exempt from federal estate taxes. CLC can provide you with sample bequest language.

  • If you are 70 ½ or older, you can gift up to $111,000 per year directly from your IRA to Children’s Law Center. By using your pre-tax IRA assets, your charitable gift costs you less. If you’re 73 or older, IRA Rollover gifts can also be used to meet your required minimum distribution and are not subject to income taxes.

  • Donating a gift of stock may help you save on capital gains tax and result in a charitable deduction on your tax return. CLC can provide you with easy stock transfer instructions that you can provide to your broker.

  • Advise your sponsoring organization to make a gift to CLC. The gift could be recurring each month, quarter, or year, or it could be a one-time gift.

  • Designating CLC as one of your beneficiaries in your life insurance, IRA, or retirement plan is another simple way to support CLC into the future. Contact your plan administrator for a beneficiary designation form and include CLC as a partial, contingent, or sole beneficiary.

If you have questions about these or other planned gifts, please contact Sydney Pepper at spepper@childrenslawky.org or call 859-431-3313 x 157. Please note that there are more planned giving options available than those listed here. We recommend consulting with your financial advisor, accountant, and/or attorney before making a planned gift to CLC or any organization. Bear in mind that CLC’s legal name is “Northern Kentucky Children’s Law Center, Inc.”
