Holiday & Special Occasion Gifts
– Make a gift in recognition of someone special.
This year, present that special someone with a mental image: The face of a child, without a care in the world, surrounded by the wonders of nature, because, as Jon Sherry says:
“No gift brings satisfaction, nor profoundly gratifies, as the carefree sense of wonder, glowing in a child’s eyes.”
Benefit #1 – This is a perfect gift for the person who “has everything.”
Benefit #2 – It’s a way for you to say, “This is how much you mean to me.”
Benefit #3 – It’s a great way wish someone a happy birthday, merry Christmas or holiday cheers!

Gift Annuity
– Receive extra income for life!
Attention: The Camp-aign is now able to offer the highest standard rate of return in the nation to qualified donors*, thanks to the generosity of a corporate contributor.
Benefit #1 – This allows you to increase your income stream and make a gift simultaneously. That’s why donors often describe a gift annuity as the way to “have your cake, and eat it too.”
Benefit #2 – You can use appreciated securities to fund your gift annuity, reduce capital gains taxes, and increase your effective rate of return!
For over one hundred years, caring and conscientious people have been using this giving method. Click Gift Annuity for the form you’ll need to complete and return to Camp-aign Headquarters. *For additional information, please contact CGA@ForAmericanKids.org, or phone 804-266-7130.

Charitable Remainder Trust
– Support several charities with one gift.
Benefit #1 – With a unitrust, you receive a fixed percentage of the trust assets for life. Your payments increase as the value of the unitrust grows over time.
Benefit #2 – With an annuity trust you receive fixed payments for life. Both giving methods allow you to reduce capital gains taxes, receive a significant tax deduction, and receive payments for life (a portion of which is tax free).
In addition, with a Charitable Remainder Trust through The Camp-aign for American Kids, you can benefit all of your favorite charities simultaneously and avoid the expenses of establishing separate trusts for each.
