Leave a legacy

Planning a future gift is a wonderful way to leave a legacy of support and, at the same time, benefit you and your family.

Planned giving ensures future patients at Children's Wisconsin continue to receive the best care. Our Guardian Society recognizes individuals who have made planned gift commitments.

Planned giving & estate gifts

Planned giving ensures a secure future for Children's Wisconsin. Many of our friends support us through their estate plans by naming Children's Wisconsin as a beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement plan or life insurance policy, or by making a gift that returns income, such as a gift annuity. Planned gifts can provide financial benefits for you and your family while also helping the children in our community.

We are grateful to our Guardian Society members for their foresight and generosity in helping future generations.
