Planned Giving

There are many ways to help a child thrive. Your gift, no matter the size, is appreciated and will be put to good use in furthering our mission.

Gifts of Personal Property

Donate personal property that will help us to continue and expand our mission while providing significant tax benefits to you.

This diagram represents how to make a gift of personal property – a gift that costs nothing during lifetime.

How It Works

  • You transfer a valuable painting, antique, or other personal property to Children's Bureau of Southern California.
  • Children's Bureau may hold and display the property or use it in the furtherance of its mission.
  • Children's Bureau may sell the property at some point in the future and use the proceeds for its mission.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised value of your gift and pay no capital gains tax, so long as the gift can be used by Children's Bureau to carry out its mission.
  • In certain cases, you can use personal property to fund a life-income gift that provides you and/or other loved ones with an income now and benefits Children's Bureau in the future.
  • Without using cash, you can make a gift that is immediately beneficial to Children's Bureau of Southern California.
