Since our founding, McKinley has provided services to children who are survivors of abusive environments, often related to drug and/or alcohol abuse, abandonment, and physical and psychological difficulties. Many children arrive at McKinley depressed, sad, angry, and dealing with incredible traumas. At McKinley, they have the opportunity to grow and thrive in a nurturing, empowering environment.

Consider these questions:

1. Did you know that you may be able to increase your retirement income by planning a gift to McKinley?

2. Have you considered creative ways to give that involve your estate plan?

3. Did you know you could consolidate all your regular donations for the next 5 years and take the entire tax deduction this year?

4. If you own real estate, you probably know you will have to pay nearly 25% tax when selling the property. Would you like to hear about how you can avoid that 25% tax by committing to a 10% gift at the end of your lifetime?

5. Did you know that you can give your Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) directly to McKinley and avoid the income tax? 

6. Are you aware that key financial tools (ie. 401(k), IRA, Life Insurance, etc) are critical to your safeguarding your future? And they can be excellent tools to use in your charitable giving too?

7. Would you like to learn how to pass on your philanthropic passion to your children and grandchildren?
