More Information
Federal estate tax laws encourage charitable bequests by allowing an estate tax deduction for the full value of charitable gifts. No limit is placed on the amount that can be left to charity and deducted from your estate. After providing for family and friends, many people will specify that all or a portion of their estate be distributed to Campbell Lodge Boys' Home.

A will or other legal agreement (such as a trust) may be needed to make sure your estate is distributed according to your wishes. Without such arrangements, your property may be distributed according to the dictates of state law, without regard for your intentions or the special needs of your surviving loved ones.

The best way to make a charitable bequest through your will depends on a number of factors, including your assets and family considerations. Without cost or obligation, Campbell Lodge Boys' Home will provide you and your legal and tax advisors with general information at your request.

For More Information

You should confer with your attorney and/or tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of a proposed gift. Please call Steve Hegge, Director of Development, at 859-781-1214 x114 with any other questions you may have.

Thank you for your generous intentions toward Campbell Lodge Boys' Home.
