Why it matters

The care a child gets today should still be here in twenty years.

The Jesus Loves Me Children's Center is there for the child who arrives tonight. A planned gift helps make sure it's there for that child's children too.

Most planned gifts cost nothing during your lifetime. You keep full use of what you have, take care of the people you love first, and leave what remains to work you believe in.

Questions about legacy giving.

Is my estate big enough to leave a planned gift?

Yes. Every gift, no matter the size, brings a child closer to the care they need. Many people leave a percentage of their estate rather than a set amount. That way the gift grows or shrinks with whatever you have, and you never have to revisit it.

Does it cost anything to plan my estate?

No. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can make a legally valid will at no cost. You can finish your plans there, or use it to get organized before you meet with an attorney.

Can I change my mind later?

Yes. A planned gift is a plan, not a contract. You can update your will or beneficiaries at any time, and FreeWill lets you make changes at no cost.

Can my gift remain anonymous?

Absolutely. Letting us know about your plans helps us plan ahead and honor your wishes, but you are always welcome to stay anonymous.

How will LIVE2540 use my planned gift?

We'll put your gift toward the most urgent needs in children's healthcare in Liberia. If you have something specific in mind, like a program or a loved one you'd like to honor, I'd be glad to talk it through with you.

What does my attorney need?

Our legal name is LIVE2540, our Tax ID is 27-4270641 and our mailing address is PO Box 2434, Cartersville, GA 30120. The sample language above is a good place to start.
