Bequest
By naming Morrison in your will you can create a permanent source of support for children. While the bequest is the most common form of "planned gift," other options, such as gift annuities, are also available. Significant tax savings are part of the strategy for planned gifts. An estate planner or attorney can be very helpful in determining the best plan for you.

Just Being There
An hour a week. A half day every month. One day a year. Making a regular time commitment that fits your schedule can be an extraordinary asset to Morrison. Many volunteers feel they gain more than they give because of the meaningfulness of the activities - not to mention the fun of connecting to others who share your commitment to children.
