Planned Giving

One of the simplest strategies is to add Mount Dora Children’s Home to your will or trust documents. You can choose to leave MDCH a percentage, a specific dollar amount, specific pieces of property, or the residual of your estate after providing for your heirs. When you notify us that you have added MDCH to your will, we will honor you with membership in our Legacy  Club.

A charitable remainder trust provides for annual income to you or another person you designate for life or a specified period of time, after which the remainder of the trust is left to Mount Dora Children’s Home. The donor may receive significant tax benefits, especially when donating appreciated assets.

Naming Mount Dora Children’s Home as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement accounts may provide tax benefits for your estate. If you are age 70 1/2 or older, you may also qualify to donate some or all of the annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your retirement accounts to a charity such as Mount Dora Children’s Home.

You can help support Mount Dora Children’s Home by gifting real estate, stocks, and other securities, art, antiques, and other collectibles to us. We also accept donations of vehicles, including cars, vans, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, and boats.  Such gifts, including a donation of appreciated assets, may provide the donor with significant tax benefits. We will be glad to meet with you to discuss planned giving and estate planning strategies that work best for you and your family. We can also work with your financial planning, tax or legal advisers to develop a plan tailored to your needs.
