Discover the Benefits of Giving Wisely

Did you know there are creative ways to support the The Red Cross and you and your loved ones at the same time?

Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and the The Red Cross. For example:

• You can make a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
• You can give stock and realize larger tax savings.
• You can get a monthly paycheck for life in return for your gift.
• You can donate your house, continue to live there, and get a tax break all at the same time.

Why we Give

We chose to establish a charitable remainder trust with The Red Cross because it will provide us with an income for the rest of our lives and provided good tax advantages at the time it was established. Read More.
