Leave a Legacy

 

Leave a Lasting Gift that will have "Big" Impact on Children in the Chippewa Valley

A bequest is as simple as it is powerful; with a few words in your will, you can continue to be an advocate for children and their future well beyond your lifetime. Chances are, even after you have made adequate provisions for family and friends, you can have a bigger impact than you ever thought possible-and you don't have to be wealthy to do it!

Best of all, when you make a bequest, you will have the feeling of having done something significant and meaningful for Big Brother Big Sisters and the youth we serve. It is our mission to foster caring mentoring relationships that will change a child's life forever.

Not only can you make a bequest in a will or trust, you can also designate Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401K, or life insurance policy. 

If you name Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwestern Wisconsin (BBBSNW) as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy it benefits both BBBSNW and you!  For example, $42/month for 10 years will provide $5,000 in tax deductions for you, and a $27,000 death benefit for Big Brothers Big Sisters!  Actual figures depend on varying factors.  Talk to your financial advisor to assist you.
