Other Ways of Giving...
Planned Giving Program
A commitment or gift established legally during the donor's lifetime, but whose principal benefits usually do not accrue to the charitable organization until the donor passes away. These gifts recognize the donor's personal, financial, and charitable objectives. They provide special opportunities to enhance the work of Astor. They provide donors the lasting and dependable satisfaction of choosing how their support will be used.
- Will — Name the Astor Home for Children Foundation as a beneficiary in your will.
- Life Insurance Policy — contribute a life insurance policy that you do not wish to include in your estate plans.
- Name the Astor Home for Children Foundation as a direct beneficiary of a portion of your retirement resources, such as an IRA.
Make a gift of real estate
You can help the Astor Home for Children and the Astor Learning Center address its critical space needs. Your real estate gift can also produce the funds necessary to acquire new facilities.
Gift of stock or other securities
Securities can be given through stocks which have been appreciated in value. This allows the donor to make a significant gift that involves less out-of-pocket cost. Gifts of securities may be made in several ways. The most common practice is to place the securities with the donor's broker or bank, with a request that The Astor Home for Children Foundation be notified.
