A legacy of compassion has characterized TLC for Children and Families, Inc. (TLC) since it was founded by the Johnson County Young Matrons in 1972. This spirit continues to permeate all of TLC’s programs as it serves children and youth in crisis.
The TLC Legacy Society is a special recognition program formed to honor individuals who develop an estate plan or other deferred gift arrangement that will ultimately benefit TLC for Children and Families, Inc.
TLC Legacy Society members continue a longtime tradition of serving the most vulnerable in our society—our children. Through their foresight, these donors assure TLC’s ability to fulfill its mission in the future by establishing a firm commitment today through TLC Charities Foundation, Inc. (“TLC Charities Foundation”).
Mission
The TLC Legacy Society was formed to accomplish three primary objectives:
- To recognize donors who have taken important steps toward developing a deferred gift plan for TLC.
- To increase awareness of the personal benefits of charitable gift planning.
- To encourage friends to consider a meaningful planned gift that will benefit TLC after he or she no longer needs the resources.
Benefits
In addition to the personal satisfaction of knowing that you are assisting children and families in need, members of the TLC Legacy Society will receive the following:
- Recognition of your generosity toward TLC by including your name in the annual roll of TLC Legacy Society members published as part of TLC’s Annual Report.
- A special memento of the TLC Legacy Society for display in your home or office.
- An invitation to an annual luncheon for TLC Legacy Society members.
Other potential advantages include significant savings on income taxes, reduced estate taxes, avoidance of capital gain tax on appreciated gift assets, and a secure life income for a spouse or other loved one.
