Whether supported through an outright gift or planned gift, all Red Cross programs are made possible through the generosity and commitment of people like you. Remembering the Red Cross in your will or estate plan is a special way to ensure that our work will continue in Monroe and Owen Counties for years to come. Such gifts may include a bequest of cash, securities or property in a specific sum or by percentage, real estate, or a charitable remainder trust.

There are also other ways to help the Red Cross prepare for the future that offer significant financial benefits for the donor as well. If you own stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have appreciated in value, you have a unique opportunity to realize extra tax savings by making an outright gift to our chapter. Other planned giving options include charitable gift annuities, gift of life insurance and retirement plans and much more.

For more information on these and other planned giving options, please either contact us directly or have your attorney contact us at the Monroe County Chapter, 812-332-7292.
