By including the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® of San Diego 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 or life insurance designations, 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.
