- Because of your support, children with special needs develop, blossom, and reach their maximum potential
- Your contribution is a blessing to families caring for a child with special needs. Respite Care’s day/evening out sessions give relief that lowers stress, strengthens families and reduces the risk of child abuse.

We have two simple options available that can turn your wish for these special children into a gift that helps develop young minds and strengthens local families.
Leave A Legacy
Non-profit organizations, like Respite Care, benefit greatly from gifts left through wills and estates. If this is something you’ve considered – or would like to do – here are ten steps to follow to Leave Your Legacy. You can make a difference for a long time to come!
- Prepare a will so you can intentionally determine your legacy at the time of your passing.
- Evaluate your financial situation and determine your charitable goals.
- Consult an attorney, accountant or financial adviser about tax-friendly options for making a legacy gift.
- Choose one or more organizations that have made a difference in your life and leave a gift in your will.
- Contact the organization(s) of your choice to learn about opportunities for legacy giving.
- Leave a percentage or specific dollar amount of the assets in you will to a charity of your choice.
- Consider using non-cash assets (real estate, vehicles, art, jewelry, other personal property) for a legacy gift.
- Name a charity as a beneficiary of your IRA pension plan or life insurance policy.
- Remember deceased loved ones with a memorial gift to a charity.
- Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to charities in their wills.
