Your planned gift to Single Parent Advocate ensures that your values and commitment to supporting single-parent families live on. Your generosity will continue to make a difference long into the future, helping countless families with single head-of-households fare better and thrive.
By considering planned giving, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of single-parent families for generations to come.
Types of Planned Giving Options
Donate Through Stocks
Make a larger impact by gifting stock and donating long-term appreciated securities, including stock, bonds, and mutual funds, directly to charity. Compared with donating cash or selling your appreciated securities and contributing the after-tax proceeds, you may potentially increase your gift and tax donation.
Bequests
A bequest is a gift made through your will or living trust. This simple and flexible option allows you to maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while still supporting Single Parent Advocate in the future.
Fast Fact: Less than 50% of Americans have a will. We recommend this to all those who we support and to all those who support our organization. Some individuals create their own will, and others hire an estate attorney for this purpose. Either way, having a plan intact for life events such as the passing of a loved one is highly beneficial and recommended for all.

Single Parent Advocate works with a licensed professional advisor to help passionate Life Changers like you leverage life insurance policies to create a legacy. This option allows you to make a significant gift while potentially enjoying tax benefits.
Retirement Plan Assets
Designating Single Parent Advocate as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets, such as an IRA or 401(k), can be a tax-efficient way to support our mission while providing for your loved ones.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
These trusts provide income to you or your designated beneficiaries for a specified period, with the remainder going to Single Parent Advocate. This option can offer tax benefits and income security
