Beneficiary Gifts through Retirement Accounts

Naming Child Bridge as a beneficiary is a simple and powerful way to support the life changing work of our organization without updating your will. Contact your plan administrator or financial institution for a change of beneficiary form.

On the beneficiary form, decide what percentage (up to 100%) you would like  to donate to this work.

Bank Accounts, Investment Accounts, CDs

You can leave a legacy by naming Child Bridge as a Payable-on-Death (POD) or Transfer-on-Death (TOD) beneficiary for any percentage up to 100%. Contact your financial institution for a change of  beneficiary form. The beneficiary you name has no rights to the funds until after your lifetime. You are free to use the money in the account, change the beneficiary, or close the account as you wish.

Gift of Life Insurance

You can name Child Bridge as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy by submitting an updated beneficiary designation form with the policy holder. You can designate Child Bridge as a primary beneficiary for any percentage up to 100%.

Bridge builder stories

GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS

“God broke our hearts for children who suffer abuse and neglect. When we learned that there are not enough families to care for these children in their time of greatest need… well it just really wrecked us.  We’ve been monthly and annual supporters of Child Bridge since the organization began. We’re honored to be a small part of transformation in young lives and the families who step up to care for them.  But the work must go on. We’re excited to know that through our legacy gift we can continue to find and equip foster and adoptive families for hurting children long after we’re gone.”
