Planned Giving
By including the Make-A-Wish Foundation Make-A-Wish East Tennessee in your estate plans, you can provide the resources necessary to grant inspiring wishes for children now and in the future
A deferred gift can help you balance your financial goals and your charitable interests - all while possibly achieving significant tax benefits. A planned gift, such as a bequest in your will or trust, life insurance designations, or stock donation ensures your support for the children we serve well into the future. You'll do more than help grant wishes, you'll create a legacy that will impact our wish kids for years to come.

Will or Living Trust
You want to leave money to Make-A-Wish in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.
Charitable Gift Annuities
There is a way for you to support Make-A-Wish and feel confident that you have dependable income in your retirement years. You can do this with a charitable gift annuity.
Charitable Remainder Trust
These types of gifts may offer you tax benefits and the option for income. There are two ways to receive payments and each has its own benefits:
Life Insurance
When the original purpose for a life insurance policy no longer applies—such as educating children now grown or providing financial security for a spouse—your policy can become a meaningful way to support our work.
Legacy of Wishes
Wishes are empowering — even transformative. They spark imagination and can provide kids the added strength they need to fight a critical illness. These life-changing experiences touch hearts and inspire action to those who grant them.
