You can also arrange for lifetime income to be paid to a family member after your death, with the charity's benefit coming later. It is a thoughtful memorial, or a way to honor someone on special occasions, such as birthday, retirement, anniversary or holiday. These gifts are a gratifying way for individuals, organizations, businesses and groups to honor some one while supporting the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation's mission to provide other nonprofit organizations with a means to educate the public about the needs of children across this nation. A memorial or tribute card is sent as specified. The amount of the gift is not indicated.
Every gift is tax deductible and the donor receives an acknowledgment.
In appreciation of your contribution, the Foundation will mail a personal thank you note to the donor, as well as notification of the gift to the next of kin within 48 hours. As a final acknowledgment and permanent memorial, the deceased's name will be entered in the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation's Book of Life. The book is kept on display at the Foundation's office in Indianapolis, Indiana.
