Planned/Legacy Giving

Build a Legacy for Colorado’s Kids

A future where every child thrives – Because of You!
Colorado is home to more than 1.2 million children. Every one of them deserves the opportunity to be healthy, learn, and thrive—today and for generations to come.  

By including the Colorado Children’s Campaign in your long-term plans, you can help ensure that the policies, systems, and opportunities children depend on continue to grow stronger—well into the future. 

Why Legacy Giving Matters
For more than 40 years, the Colorado Children’s Campaign has worked to ensure kids have a seat at the table when decisions are made that affect their lives. 

Because of this work, Colorado children today have better access to health care, early childhood education, and the support they need to succeed. 

But the need is ongoing. 

Persistent disparities, economic pressures, and underinvestment continue to impact children and families across Colorado, especially low-income children and children of color. 

Legacy gifts ensure that Colorado Children’s Campaign remains ready and resourced so that future generations of children have the opportunity to thrive. 

Your Legacy. Their Future.
When you make a planned gift, you are investing in long-term, systemic change for kids across Colorado. Your gift will help: 

  • Advance policies that remove barriers and expand opportunity 
  • Ensure decision-makers use high-quality data to shape better outcomes for kids 
  • Build public and political will to prioritize children’s well-being 
  • Strengthen systems in early childhood, education, health, and economic security 

Together, these efforts create lasting change—not just for one child, but for generations of Colorado’s kids. 

Ways to Leave a Legacy
There are many simple ways to include the Colorado Children’s Campaign in your plans: 

  • Bequests – Include a gift in your will or trust 
  • Retirement Assets – Name the Colorado Children’s Campaign as a beneficiary of your IRA or retirement plan
  • Life Insurance – Designate the Colorado Children’s Campaign as a beneficiary 
  • Donor Advised Funds – Recommend including Colorado Children’s Campaign as a beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund. Each option can be tailored to your goals, your family, and the impact you want to make.
