Do you have a friend or loved one you wish to honor in a special way? Children’s Village can help you honor that person through our Memorial Program or our Tribute and Remembrance Program. ​ The funds you provide in this manner are used for food, clothing, shelter, and education for our boys and girls in care. At the same time, it is a thoughtful way to say to a friend, relative or bereaved family that you care. ​ Here’s how it works: Memorial Gifts are acknowledged immediately by a personal card to the bereaved family. No mention is made of the gift amount. Many find this “living memorial” more meaningful than flowers. Contact us for more info or click here for theMemorial and Remembrance Form.

Remembrance and tribute gifts may be sent in honor of a birth, birthday, anniversary, graduation, illness, recovery or occasions such as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. They are promptly acknowledged and the amount is not mentioned Contact us for more info or fill out and return the Memorial Form.

What is an endownment fund? An endowment fund is an investment made by or on the behalf of a foundation that uses the earnings from the investment to fund its operations. Think of is as an artesian well that keeps giving and giving. Because of their enduring quality, endowments enable us to plan ahead with confidence. We can project endowment income and develop plans accordingly. Endowments are Personal and Flexible While it is possible, and sometimes desirable, to create an unnamed, restricted endowment fund, many people want their fund to bear a person’s name. They are also able to tailor the purpose of their endowment to benefit a specific area of interest. Many of our partners appreciate the flexibility and the opportunity to personalize their “artesian well." Contact us to learn more about donating to an endowment fund to provide for future generations.

Leave a legacy. More than half of adults have taken no action to document their wishes in a will. What would happen if you died tomorrow? Would your spouse inherit all your property? Would your financial and personal valuables be divided the way you would choose? What church, charity, or non-profit organization would receive a final gift? Without a will, the state courts decide these questions for you. A will is not just for the wealthy. We all need to leave a last statement of what is important to us, our last testament. At minimum, your plan should consist of: 1. A basic will, properly executed and witnessed, instructions for passing your estate on to your heirs; 2. A durable power of attorney, for an agent in financial matters if you become unable to manage your own affairs; 3. A healthy care proxy, an agent who can generally make health care decisions for you if you are unable to make them yourself. ​ Another mistake is to make a will and assume it is done – for a lifetime. It is important to review you plan every few years and adjust for the changes in your life. ​ You should plan your estate regardless of size. You have the opportunity to be significant, to make a difference, no matter what assets you leave behind. ​ Leave a legacy that reflects your beliefs and values. Of course, you should take care of your family first and foremost. But, a gift included in your estate, a gift of any size, also says something about how you view yourself and how you want to be remembered. Perhaps you would like to learn more about wills.
