Leave a Legacy of Care for Kids and Families
By including Respite Care in your estate plans, you can help ensure extraordinary kids and their families receive compassionate, high-quality care for generations to come.
The Respite Care Legacy Circle honors individuals and families who have chosen to create a lasting impact through a future gift. Whether you include Respite Care in your will, trust, retirement account, life insurance policy, or other giving plan, your generosity helps strengthen the future of our mission
What is the Legacy Circle?
The Respite Care Legacy Circle recognizes compassionate supporters who have made a commitment to the future by including Respite Care in their long-term giving plans. Legacy gifts allow us to plan ahead, care for future families, and continue creating a safe, enriching, and supportive environment for children with developmental disabilities.
Legacy Circle members become part of a special community of donors who believe every child deserves care, connection, and opportunity, not just today, but for years to come.
Why leave a legacy gift?
A legacy gift is one of the most meaningful ways to support Respite Care. It allows you to create a lasting impact by helping ensure that children and families can access compassionate, high-quality care for generations to come. These gifts strengthen the future of our programs and provide stability for the organization’s long-term mission. Legacy giving also offers flexibility, with a variety of options that can be tailored to your personal, financial, and family goals. Many legacy gifts can be updated over time, allowing you to make a commitment today while maintaining the ability to adjust your plans if your circumstances change.
Ways to Leave a Legacy Gift
There are many ways to include Respite Care in your plans. Some options cost nothing during your lifetime, while others may offer income, tax, or estate planning benefits. We encourage you to speak with your attorney, financial advisor, or tax professional to determine what is best for you.
Respite Care reserves the right to review and decline gifts that are too restrictive, not in the organization's best interest, or inconsistent with applicable policies.
Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit
Did you know that many monetary donations to Respite Care qualify for the Colorado Child Care Contribution Tax Credit? This credit can reduce the after-tax cost of eligible gifts by more than 50 percent.
Half of your eligible donation may be offset by a dollar-for-dollar credit against your Colorado income taxes. You may also be able to claim the charitable deduction on your federal and state income tax returns if you itemize deductions.
Eligible donors may include individuals, estates, trusts, partnerships, and corporations. Only monetary donations qualify for this credit. Because every tax situation is unique, we encourage you to consult your tax advisor for guidance.
Legacy Circle Recognition
When you let us know about your future gift, you may choose to be recognized as a member of the Respite Care Legacy Circle. This recognition allows us to express our gratitude and celebrate your commitment to improving the future of our mission.
If you prefer, you may also choose to remain anonymous during your lifetime or forever.
If you have already included Respite Care in your plans, we would be honored to know. Completing a Statement of Intent helps us thank you appropriately, recognize your generosity according to your wishes, and plan responsibly for the future.
Please note that your gift remains revocable and may be changed by you at any time. Completing this form is not legally binding.
