ACF develops a Legacy Fund!

So what is the Another Child Foundation Legacy Endowment Fund and what does it have to do with you? Below are a few questions that will help you understand the Legacy Endowment Fund and its purpose. Hopefully, you would prayerfully consider helping us meet our ongoing needs with a gift that can provide LIFE to those who need it so desperately. We bring this offer to you in the most humble manner.

Q. What is the purpose of the Legacy Endowment Fund and why was it formed?
A. In recognition of the need for sustained revenues for ministry, the Another Child Foundation’s Board of Directors created an Endowment Fund in 2013. Endowment funds provide a lasting gift. Building a permanent Endowment fund is the best way to protect the investment we have made – and continue to make – in supporting orphans and at-risk children throughout the world. It ensures that we can continue to offer a gold standard ministry for all the children we serve. It secures a stable source of unrestricted income for Another Child Foundation to disperse to our ministry partners and their programs.

Q. Why should people give to the ACF Legacy Endowment Fund when there are so many other worthy causes that need funding just as badly?
A. It is Another Child’s goal to reach, teach, and transform the lives of orphans and at-risk children. We are fortunate to live in a country where our children have access to many personal growth opportunities. But as we all know it is a constant struggle to meet the needs of the orphan and at-risk children in other countries. It is time for us to come together and to radically change the lives of these children by providing hope to them. This is your opportunity to make a lasting difference to children who have the same hopes and dreams of the children you love. With your help, we can raise the bar on how these children think and dream. With Another Child’s unique ability to tend to children from a young age you can bring lasting impacts to God’s world for generations to come.

Q. How can I make a contribution?
A. Tax-deductible charitable contributions may be made as:
  • Please donate securely online or mail a check payable to Another Child Foundation Endowment Fund and mail to: ACF  416 E Dover Rd., Princeton, IL 61356
  • Appreciated securities & real estate - this may be a way to gain tax advantages for donors who have held assets for long periods of time.
  • Stocks & gift stocks - stocks, including stock from start-up ventures, may be placed in an endowment trust with current market value benefits.
  • Planned giving - assets as a part of a will may be another opportunity to give a gift of lifelong learning through a charitable trust agreement.

Q. How will the distributions be spent?
A. The funds will be used to provide life-changing programs for the children we serve. Area’s in which this includes, but not limited to are: education, housing, health care, psychological care, and self-improvement programs. Funds can also be used to provide capital improvements in the facilities the programs need to function.
