At Child Crisis Arizona, we believe every child deserves a safe place to grow, learn and thrive. Legacy giving is a beautiful way to reflect your values and extend your impact far beyond your lifetime. It's not just a gift, it's a promise of hope, stability, and love for the children and families who need it most.
The work we do is critical and impacts one child at a time, one family at a time.
Whether you're planning your estate or ready to recommend a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) gift, it's simple to make a lasting difference.
Your generosity today can ensure safety, stability, and hope for generations to come. By including Child Crisis Arizona in your will, you are creating a future where children and families can continue to thrive.
Making a will is an important step and it doesn’t have to be complicated. With our trusted partner FreeWill.com, you can create a free, simple, and legally valid will in just 20 minutes.
DAF gifts are a tax-smart way to give that allow you to make a larger impact for the children at lower personal financial cost. Deposit cash and non-cash assets to your Donor-Advised Fund over time, and receive tax deductions and other benefits from your contributions. If you have a Donor Advised Fund, you can make a gift directly to Child Crisis Arizona or name us as a beneficiary—just reach out to your fund manager to get started.
Make a Meaningful Impact with Your IRA
If you’re age 70½ or older, making a gift from your IRA to Child Crisis Arizona is a powerful way to help children and families thrive while also enjoying unique tax advantages.
How It Works: You can transfer up to $100,000 per year directly from your IRA to Child Crisis Arizona—$200,000 for married couples with separate IRAs. This transfer, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), must go directly from your IRA to us to qualify. While it doesn’t count as a charitable tax deduction, it also doesn’t count as taxable income helping reduce your overall tax burden. If you're age 72 or older, your QCD can also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Your legacy can change lives today. Talk to your IRA administrator or financial advisor about how to start giving directly to Child Crisis Arizona through a QCD.
For more information about these opportunities, please contact Director of Individual and Legacy Giving, Karen DeCarlo.
What has kept me involved for so many years is Child Crisis Arizona’s ability to adapt and change based on trends in the child welfare system. No matter what, Child Crisis Arizona has continued to answer the call. They’ve always been incredibly mindful of resources and have continued to make sure funding goes directly towards programs that kids need."
When you choose to leave a legacy gift, you’ll join our Legacy of Love Builds Society—a special group of compassionate supporters who believe in building a stronger tomorrow for vulnerable children and families.
