How to Give

Giving to CHS can be done either directly or through a gift model that can provide you with tax benefits and even income. Click on a gift model below to learn more.

  • Wills and Trusts
    You designate Children's Home Society Of Florida as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or beneficiary designation form.

  • IRA to Gift Annuity Rollover
    You may be looking for a way to help further our mission and enhance your income. If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time IRA rollover to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.

  • Donor Advised Funds
    You fund a DAF and make charitable gift recommendations during your lifetime. When you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.

  • IRA Rollover
    Congress has enacted a permanent IRA charitable rollover. As a result, a gift to CHS, directly from your IRA, will help further our mission without raising your taxable income.
