What is the secret to making a gift that will provide the greatest benefit to
you and the American Red Cross? Part of the answer lies in careful
planning and good organization. The best plans are created by first,
deciding what your goals are and second, determining how to accomplish
your goals.

Planned gifts create opportunities for both the American Red Cross and
our donors. Determining what gift is right for you is just as important as
making the gift. There are a myriad of easy giving options from which you
can choose — from naming us as a beneficiary in your will to a more
complex trust arrangement.  Ultimately the best plan for you will balance
what you wish to accomplish for yourself, your family, and your charitable
interests in your overall estate and financial plans.

Here you can learn about giving strategies that allow you to make a
meaningful charitable gift while possibly enhancing your, and your
family's, future financial well being.

If you're not sure how our gift plans can meet your financial goals or if
you're already considering certain giving options, simply click on

Planning Tools and select the tool that suites your needs whether it is
