legacy giving
Transform tomorrow.
Create lasting change for childhood cancer research. Today, and always.
Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, is a heartfelt way to support Curing Kids Cancer while leaving a lasting impact on the fight against pediatric cancer. By including us in your estate plans, you can ensure that future generations of children receive the care and research needed to conquer this disease. Whether through bequests, trusts, or other financial instruments, your generosity will create a powerful legacy of hope and healing, transforming lives and advancing our mission long after your lifetime. Help us make a meaningful difference today and for years to come.
How it works
There are several ways you can include Curing Kids Cancer in your legacy plans.
Bequests
Designate Curing Kids Cancer as a beneficiary in your will or living trust.
Beneficiary Designation
Adding CKC as a beneficiary to your cash or retirement accounts, donor-advised fund or even life insurance policy is an easy and free way to support our mission.
Charitable Trusts
Establish a charitable remainder trust or charitable lead trust that benefits both your loved ones and Curing Kids Cancer.
Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you’re 70.5 or older, consider a tax-free donation directly from your IRA to CKC to make an immediate impact and reduce your required minimum distribution (RMD) and taxable income.
