Planned Giving

Carry on a tradition of hope, opportunity, and achievement by including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Missouri in your estate plans. You can realize significant tax advantages while allowing young people in our community to create their own legacy of success and self-sufficiency.

A planned gift allows a donor to contribute to BBBS over a period of years or as part of an estate plan. Properly designed, it can generate a charitable income tax deduction. It can be designated for a specific purpose or provide unrestricted support for BBBS's mission-directed activities. These gifts are made in the form of trusts, bequests or endowments.

Tip - When appreciated securities are donated, you are entitled to a deduction for full value, not just the original cost.
