Planned Giving Options

Planned giving creates opportunities for both POB and our donors. It ensures that POB's high-quality programs continue for years to come, and it offers our donors the chance to leave a legacy for themselves and their family members.

Determining what gift is right for you is just as important as making the gift. The correct plan for you balances what you wish to accomplish for yourself, your family, and your charitable interests in your overall estate and financial plans.
