Planned Giving

Create a legacy that will impact wish kids for years to come. By including the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of South Carolina 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. 

If you are ready to begin your will, you can use FreeWill, a free, online resource that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust in 20 minutes or less. It also makes it easy to include the Make-A-Wish South Carolina in your lasting legacy.
