A Double Blessing
Some years ago, a couple of siblings received farmland when a
relative passed away. To honor their loved one, they donated the
real estate to The Children’s Home Foundation in exchange for a
Charitable Gift Annuity. Each of the brothers will receive regular
income for life from the Gift Annuity, and The Foundation will
use the remaining funds from the sale of the property to take
care of wounded children for generations to come. In a recent
conversation they stated, “We were amazed at the possibilities
available. We are truly blessed. It has always been a win-win
with The Children’s Home Foundation!”
This gift continues to bless both the donors AND children in
need in our community. You could possibly realize a double
blessing as well. Learn how you can make the best use of your
