Planned Giving
Build a Legacy of Hope for Foster Children
Guiding Harbor has spent over 65 years improving the lives of children and families in Michigan’s foster care system. Your support helps sustain that work, and planned giving is one of the most powerful ways to make an enduring difference.
What is Planned Giving?
Planned, or legacy, giving means arranging support now or through your estate. Whether it’s during your lifetime or part of estate planning, it’s a way to ensure your values carry forward.
Ways you can give:
Bequests (in your will or estate plan)
Naming Guiding Harbor as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy
Charitable trusts (e.g., remainder or lead trusts)
Retirement account beneficiaries (IRA, 401(k), etc.)
