A Strong Finish With Year End Giving

Date

Category

It’s been said that what people remember is the beginning and the end — how we start and how we finish. Well, if 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we have lived each day with new experiences and challenges that we will not soon forget.

With the close of 2020, each of us are also faced with decisions concerning our futures. Here at Rose Brooks Center we are constantly planning for tomorrow. We do this because we know the families we serve depend on it. But we also do it because we know we have friends and supporters who have made an investment in our mission. . . and we thank you.

As you consider your year-end gifts or planned giving options, remember there are several ways to help. 1) Making a gift of securities to support our mission is as easy as instructing your broker to transfer the shares. 2) Rose Brooks also accepts grants from your Donor Advised Fund, appreciated stocks or bonds. 3) You can gift through your will or trust allowing you to save money for the future and ensure you take care of your loved ones first.

Thank you for helping Rose Brooks Center have a strong finish and create safe futures.
