We all want to leave the world a little better than we found it, right? By making a legacy gift to Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) Hawaii, you can be sure your impact will be felt for years, even generations, to come. When you support mentorship, you’re not just helping kids today—you’re also playing a part in breaking cycles of poverty and abuse for the future. Planned gifts are helpful in two ways: they can help sustain Big Brothers Big Sister with guaranteed revenue streams, and provide peace of mind for all concerned. Planned gifts are a win-win: donors create a lasting legacy and so do the organizations they support.
BBBS Hawaii is proud to offer all our programs at no cost to the keiki and families we serve, and that’s only possible because of the generosity of people like you—our donors and volunteers.
By joining our Legacy Giving Society, you’re showing a true commitment to the future of BBBS Hawaii. A portion of your estate—whether it's in the form of cash, stocks, or other securities—can create a lasting impact on the children of Hawaii, while still taking care of your loved ones. **How You Can Make a Difference** There are so many ways you can give and create a lasting legacy with BBBS Hawaii. Options include: - Cash gifts - Designating BBBS Hawaii as a beneficiary of your retirement funds - IRA distributions - Life insurance policies - Bequests - Gifts of stocks, bonds, or money market funds
The best part? You can make a lasting impact without sacrificing your needs or the needs of your family. Our team is here to help you explore the different ways to give and make sure everything is set up just the way you want it. We can even work with your financial planner to make things easy.
