Legacy Giving
Leave a lasting impact on the AABC Foundation and the birth center world.
A legacy gift is a planned future gift that designates some part of your estate as a donation to the AABC Foundation. Legacy gifts enable you to create a powerful philanthropic legacy by making a direct impact on spreading the birth center model of care, improving maternal healthcare, and creating opportunities for future birth center leaders.
After you’ve taken care of your loved ones, would you consider a 5% gift in your will to the AABC Foundation?
“My husband and I were revising our wills in January of 2020, and we sat down and decided that we really wanted to find a way to support birth centers after we’re gone. And so we redid our wills so that we would be leaving money to the AABC Foundation to continue on supporting birth centers across the country. It’s just one way we can help.”

Do you have a large sum of money that you’d like to invest while meeting your philanthropic goals? Invest it in the AABC Foundation with one of the vehicles below.
+ Charitable Remainder Trusts
CRTs allow you and/or your loved ones to benefit from monies placed in the trust during your/their lifetime. You can transfer assets to a trust, which can generate an income stream for you. Upon the death of the named beneficiary, the remaining balance in the trust is transferred to the AABC Foundation.
+ Charitable Gift Annuity
You can give a one-time gift to the Foundation in exchange for fixed, recurring annuity payments for life. Upon your death, the balance of your original gift is retained by the AABC Foundation as a gift.
+ Perpetual Income Trusts
Perpetual Income Trusts allow the income from monies you place in trust to benefit the AABC Foundation in perpetuity. The principal of your gift remains intact for the life of the trust, and the income it generates is transferred periodically to the Foundation.
Each of these types of gifts has specific tax implications. Please contact your attorney or financial advisor for further information.
