CELEBRATE SOMEONE SPECIAL

Celebrate a special person. Show that special someone your appreciation while making a difference for foster children living in our Village. Birthdays, holidays, and other life events worth celebrating are perfect reasons to make a gift in someone’s honor. Your special person will receive a card with a message notifying them that you have made a gift on their behalf.
MAKE A MEMORIAL DONATION

Your memorial donation is a fitting tribute to someone special. Your support helps SOS Children’s Villages Florida provide programs to ensure that our children thrive as they move on to life after foster care. Our most popular program is “Next Steps”, which offers a continuum of services once a young adult ages out of foster care at age 18. These services include support with the college application process, securing affordable housing, employment, and financial literacy.
You can take comfort in knowing that your loved one's memory will be honored by creating promising futures for our children. With your memorial donation, we will mail a card to the recipient and inform that person of your gift.
WORKPLACE GIVING

Corporate giving to SOS Children’s Villages Florida is a profound way for your company to have a lasting impact on the lives of foster children who have entered into our care due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Through your corporate philanthropic efforts, you can show your consumers and employees that you care about your community, and more importantly, that you care about helping provide children with a happy and safe childhood. Your support will allow SOS children live the life every child deserves.

PLANNED GIVING

Your support changes lives every day. When planning a gift to SOS Children’s Villages – Florida in your long-term financial or estate plans, you will help ensure that we’ll be here to carry out our mission for many years to come. Here are some popular and easy ways you can give to SOS Children’s Villages that will leave a legacy and transform children’s lives for many years to come.
Be sure to use our correct legal name and address, and Federal Tax ID in your document: SOS Children’s Villages – Florida, 3681 NW 59th Place, Coconut Creek FL 33073 Federal ID # 65-0080301.
Giving Securities
It’s more and more common for people to give stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Because of tax considerations, you can often give appreciated assets, and enjoy the tax deduction, rather than paying capital gains tax. Please let us know if you plan to give securities, so we can properly thank you. Please contact us for a stock donation form
Giving through Your Will or Trust
Your will can be a way to make thoughtful gifts, in addition to being one of the simplest methods to distribute your estate to loved ones and causes you care about. By remembering SOS Children’s Villages Florida in your will or your trust, you can continue to support our work beyond your lifetime.
Giving through Life Insurance
People often have life insurance policies they no longer need. Policies taken out to protect mortgages which have since been paid or educational plans that have been completed, for example, make excellent gifts. You can donate your policy to SOS Children’s Villages Florida, and make an extraordinary gift to continue to provide foster children with a loving home, education, and access to quality health care.
Giving through a Tax-Free IRA Rollover if you are over age 70½
In December 2015, the IRA Charitable Rollover became permanent – allowing individuals over age 70½ to rollover, tax-free, up to $100,000 from their IRA to charity. You can donate directly from your IRA to SOS Children’s Villages Florida and reduce your tax bill.
Simply ask your IRA administrator to transfer a tax- free amount of your choice from your account to SOS Children’s Villages Florida using our Tax ID Number: 65-0080301. Your gift will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). You can choose to allocate a portion or all of your RMD to support our mission (up to $100,000 per year).
Giving through retirement plans
You may find that you can make the largest gift of your life from “what’s left” in your retirement account or pension plan. This allows you to provide for your retirement first, and then name SOS Children’s Villages – Florida, Inc. as a beneficiary.
