Planned gifts are charitable donations made during a donor's lifetime, typically through a will, trust, or beneficiary designation. These gifts are realized by Zelie’s Home at a later date. Legacy gifts enable you to make a significant, lasting impact without affecting your current financial resources. Additionally, they can help reduce estate taxes and provide tax benefits to your loved ones.

At Zelie's Home, planned gifts are crucial for ensuring a future where families can thrive. These contributions are essential for our long-term sustainability and help us address the future needs of the mothers and children we serve. By creating a bequest or naming Zelie's Home as a beneficiary, donors can leave a lasting legacy that directly supports families in need and fosters a safe, loving environment for years to come.
