The overall importance of donating to an organization like the Women’s Sports Foundation is to keep alive its purpose of supporting girls’ and women’s chances for sporting opportunities. To put it all into perspective, you have to say, “If we don’t do it, no one will." — Ann Eickman, runner, mother of two swimmers
A current gift to the Women's Sports Foundation's mission is always welcome, but if you'd rather keep an asset for now, consider making a "deferred" gift. A deferred gift means that you donate an asset today to receive immediate income benefits and tax advantages. The Women's Sports Foundation will receive the remaining value of your gift later, often after your lifetime. For example, you could give us stocks, other parts of a portfolio or even a property or residence while continuing to live there for life.
As we face the challenges of the future, we know that the generosity of those who assist the Women's Sports Foundation will make all the difference in our success. That is why we seek your support. We also want to make sure that you benefit from making a gift to us. Through creative gift planning you can secure your own financial future, as well as ours.
Knowing that there are hundreds of men and women in the position to give the gift of longevity, we ask you to evaluate your passions and, as you begin to make plans for the future, consider leaving a legacy for the future of girls in sports via a planned gift. Your gift will assist the Women’s Sports Foundation in continuing to provide opportunities for women and girls in sport.
By including the Women’s Sports Foundation in your estate plan, you will ensure that the Foundation can continue to do advocacy work for women in sports. Additionally, your bequests will help guarantee that young girls of the future will have the opportunities and resources available to allow them to live active and healthy lives.
We invite you to consider becoming a member of our Championship Club by leaving a portion of your estate to the Women’s Sports Foundation.
