Donate TodayLeave an Endowment or a Legacy Gift
Your gift to North Star Child Advocacy Center. doesn’t have to come in the form of a check or cash donation. You can leave an endowment or a legacy gift to North Star Child Advocacy Center, Inc. by contacting the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation.
An endowment gift is a donation of money or property to our non-profit organization, which uses the resulting investment income for a specific purpose. Most endowments are designed to keep the principal amount intact while using the investment income for operational expenses.
A legacy gift is a planned future gift that designates some part of an individual’s estate as a donation to our non-profit. Legacy gifts enable individuals to create a powerful philanthropic legacy by making a direct impact on causes important to them. To some, a legacy is much more than how much money and property gets transferred to their heirs.
*Of course, donations of any dollar amount are gratefully accepted at anytime.
