Your legacy and our mission creates a lasting impact on our community.
By including Youth Services in your estate or financial plans, you can make a lasting impact on the lives of local children—often without affecting your finances today.
Leave a Gift in Your Will or Trust
One of the simplest ways to make a planned gift is to include Youth Services in your will or living trust.
You can choose to leave:
- A specific dollar amount
- A percentage of your estate
- A particular asset
- All or a portion of what remains after gifts to loved ones have been made
Your gift can make a meaningful difference for the children and families Youth Services will serve for generations to come.
Sample Bequest Language
If you would like to include Youth Services in your will or trust, the following language can be shared with your attorney:
“I give to Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook, a nonprofit organization located in Glenview, Illinois, Federal Tax ID/EIN 36-3182275, [the sum of $____ / ____% of my estate / the remainder or ____% of the remainder of my estate] to support its charitable purposes.”
Your attorney can help you determine the language that is most appropriate for your individual estate plans.
Other Ways to Make a Planned Gift
In addition to a gift through your will or trust, you may be able to name Youth Services as a beneficiary of assets such as:
- Retirement accounts
- Life insurance policies
- Bank or investment accounts
Beneficiary designations can often be updated directly through your financial institution without changing your will.
Your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional can help you determine which giving option is right for you.
Your Legacy Can Change a Child's Future
For generations, Youth Services has been a place children and families can turn for support during some of life’s most challenging moments.
A planned gift helps ensure that care will be there for the next child who needs it and for the generations of children who come after them.
Your legacy can help provide mental health care, crisis support, therapeutic programs, and other essential services while advancing our belief that every child should grow up happy, healthy, and hopeful.
