Giving with Long-Term Impact

Planned giving is a powerful way to support Heartspring’s long-term vision while creating a legacy that reflects your values and drives change well beyond your lifetime.

What Is Planned Giving?

Planned giving allows you to make a lasting contribution to Heartspring through your will, trust, or financial estate. It’s a smart way to invest in the future of pediatric neurodevelopment, ensuring  generations of children will benefit from early intervention, specialized education, and innovative care.

These gifts often cost nothing during your lifetime and can include:

  • Bequests through a will or trust

  • Beneficiary designations (retirement plans, life insurance)

  • Gifts of stock, securities, or real estate

  • Charitable gift annuities or other legacy arrangements

How It Works & Who It's For

Planned giving is a great fit for individuals and families who want to make a lasting impact in a thoughtful, often tax-smart way. Whether you’re passionate about a specific area of our work or simply want your legacy to support future generations of children, this approach helps you align your values with long-term progress.

Planned giving may be right for you if:

  • You want to make a meaningful gift without affecting your current financial situation

  • You’re updating your will, trust, or retirement account beneficiaries

  • You have appreciated assets such as stock, property, or retirement funds

  • You’re looking for ways to support Heartspring beyond annual giving

  • You believe in long-range, systems-level change in children’s health and education

Planned gifts have advanced our impact. One recent gift supported significant safety enhancements across our facilities. Another helped us refresh and modernize our audiology suite. Others have been directed to areas of greatest need, giving Heartspring the flexibility to grow strategically.
