• Investment Gifts
  If you sell your investments (stocks, bonds, or mutual funds) that have declined in value in 2006 and donate the proceeds, you may be allowed to deduct more than the current value of stocks. Consult your tax advisor on the method that is most beneficial for you.
  
  
• Taxes
  While planning last year’s taxes, you have an excellent opportunity to plan ahead for next year and the future. We have more than 200 children on our waiting list.
  
  
• For The Future
  With your help, we can ensure each child has a Big of their own. Giving an outright gift through your will, living trust, life insurance or retirement plan are meaningful ways to contribute to our children and their future.
