Welcome to your resource for charitable gift planning!
In the past year, CARE's work reached 65 million people in 71 countries through more than 1,000 projects. Thanks to donors like you, poor families are getting the support and resources to make their lives better. They are sending their children to school, stopping the spread of HIV, learning new business skills and raising healthier families. With your planned gift, you can help continue this work for years to come.
It's no secret that CARE's programs depend upon your goodwill. We've created this easy-to-understand Web site to help you dream a little—about our future and yours. There are many easy giving options from which you can choose—strategies that enhance your personal well-being, as well as empowering individuals to achieve lasting victories over poverty.
If you're not sure where to begin, try our Build Your Gift planner. By answering a few basic questions, this interactive tool steps you through the process of narrowing down your choices. It's fun and easy to use!
If you already have gift options in mind, click on Compare Gifts to see how your choices match up or click on eBrochures to request specific information on a planning option.
