Planned Giving: A Lasting Gift of Hope

Make a gift that changes lives for generations.

We believe every child deserves safety, stability, and hope. Planned giving allows you to leave a lasting legacy that ensures children in our care continue to thrive long into the future.

Make a Lasting Gift

Why Planned Giving Matters

Your planned gift:

  • Provides long-term stability – ensures children have a safe place to call home for years to come

  • Supports programs that heal and empower – trauma-informed care, counseling, education, and enrichment activities

  • Leaves a legacy of hope – shows future generations that children are valued, protected, and loved

“Planned giving allowed me to make a difference beyond my lifetime. Knowing I can help children feel safe and cared for gives me peace.”

No matter the size or type, your planned gift becomes a permanent lifeline for children who rely on our care.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is a thoughtful way to support EverHope through gifts arranged as part of your estate, retirement plan, or financial planning. These gifts can include:

  • Bequests in your will or estate plans – leave a portion of your estate to support children in need

  • Retirement accounts – name Everhope as a beneficiary of your 401(k), IRA, or pension

  • Life insurance policies – designate a policy to benefit the shelter

  • Charitable trusts – provide ongoing support while potentially receiving tax advantages

Other opportunities discussed with your financial planner or estate attorney

For questions, please contact our Chief Development Officer, Courtney Voigt at (479) 715-5087 or cvoigt@everhope.org.
