Leave a Legacy. Ignite Potential.
At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire, we believe mentorship is one of the most powerful investments you can make in a young person’s future. And through planned giving, your impact can last for generations.
Why Planned Giving Matters
Planned gifts are essential to the financial sustainability of our mission. While annual donations fund our programs today, legacy gifts ensure that the promise of mentorship lives on tomorrow. These visionary contributions allow us to:
- Grow and safeguard programs across economic cycles
- Plan strategically for long-term impact
- Provide consistent support for youth who need it most
Your legacy can help us keep saying “yes” to every child who’s waiting for a mentor.
How It Benefits You Today
Planned giving isn’t just about tomorrow—it can benefit you now. Depending on how your gift is structured, you may:
- Reduce capital gains, income, and estate taxes
- Increase your income through a charitable gift annuity or trust
- Leave a meaningful legacy—without impacting your current financial needs
You’ll gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing your values will continue to shape lives long after you’re gone.
Announcing Our $30 Million Legacy Campaign
We are proud to launch a bold new initiative:
$50 million in planned giving commitments.
This campaign is a powerful call to action for those who believe in mentorship as a long-term solution to poverty, inequality, and lack of opportunity. With over $10 million already pledged, we invite you to help us reach the finish line.
Your legacy gift could be the turning point in a child’s life.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
There are many ways to make a planned gift:
- Bequests in your will or trust
- Naming BBBS as a beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy
- Charitable gift annuities or remainder trusts
- Gifts from donor-advised funds
We’re here to help you explore the option that aligns best with your goals and vision.
