Stocks and Securities
Your stockbroker can transfer your gift to The Children's Guild's account. It is important to notify The Children's Guild development office to obtain wiring instructions and account number. Once the transfer is complete, you will receive a letter from The Children's Guild indicating the value of your contribution.
Matching Gift
Many employers match the charitable contributions of their employees. If your employer has a matching gift program, typically you must obtain a matching gift form from your employer and include it with your gift to The Children's Guild. The development office will complete the form and return it to your employer.
Planned Giving
The Children's Guild accepts gifts made as part of your estate plan. A planned gift to The Children's Guild can provide long-term support for the school in many forms as well as provide tax benefits for the donor. The Children's Guild is happy to assist you in this process.
All Children's Guild donors who make a bequest or other type of planned gift, including cash, stocks, real estate, retirement plan assets or life insurance, will receive special recognition and thanks for their thoughtful, long-range, tax-wise support.
