Leave your legacy

Join the planned giving challenge for Children’s Wisconsin

Brighter Forever logo

This special opportunity allows you to establish your charitable legacy for the future, while also seeing the immediate impact of your generosity on the kids and families we serve. Thanks to the generosity of several matching donors, 10% of any planned gift — up to $25,000 — will be matched with immediate dollars to support an area at Children’s that is most meaningful to you. 

This matching opportunity is new and will only continue through 2026, or until matching funds are exhausted. Please consider a planned gift today.

Help kids be Brighter Forever with a planned gift

Participate in this challenge by documenting your future philanthropic commitment to Children’s by completing a simple, confidential and non-legally binding statement of intent form.

There are many ways to make a planned gift. The Children’s Wisconsin team is here to help connect your philanthropic goals and passions with our vision of making the kids of Wisconsin the healthiest in the nation. Please contact Kelly Sachse, CFP, Senior Planned Giving Director, at (414) 266-6121 or ksachse@childrenswi.org or Maura Cook Lamensky, JD, Development Director for Planned Giving, at (414) 266-2481 or mcooklamensky@childrenswi.org.

We also invite you to explore the benefits of our Guardian Society, which acknowledges the donors who have remembered Children’s in their estate.
