Save the Children

As an ADVOCATE: Support the cause…

Save the Children believes every child deserves a future.

In the United States and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.

Save the Children was the first global movement for children, boldly declaring that children have rights. Today, we champion the rights of the world’s 2.3 billion children.

It is because of our commitment to children that Save the Children has garnered top ratings among other nonprofit organizations. Charity watch groups give us top ratings for achieving incredible results for children – with a proven track record of using donations efficiently and effectively.

  • Charitable Remainder Trust: If you have built a sizable estate and are looking for ways to receive reliable payments, consider a charitable remainder trust.

  • Stocks, Bonds and Mutual Funds: Donating appreciated stocks, mutual funds or bonds to charity is an efficient way to contribute that can provide you with significant tax benefits. You can make a gift of appreciated securities to Save the Children while avoiding capital gains tax, expanding your portfolio and/or obtaining a line of income. Giving a gift of appreciated securities can help Save the Children continue its lifesaving mission, support our programs and allow you to leave a lasting impact on children’s lives for years to come.
  • Wire Transfers: Making a gift of securities or mutual funds through a wire transfer will offer you the chance to ensure children grow up healthy, learning and safe all while gaining important benefits for yourself.
  • Donate through your IRA: When you turn 72 you must take a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA. A charitable gift is a great way to meet this requirement and support Save the Children’s life changing work.
  • Donor-Advised Funds: A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving vehicle administered by a third party that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals.
  • Real Estate: Such a generous gift helps us give every last child the opportunity to survive and thrive for years to come — a gift of real estate also helps you. When you give Save the Children appreciated property you have held longer than one year, you qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction. This eliminates capital gains tax.
  • Charitable Lead Trust: You can benefit from the tax savings that result from supporting Save the Children without giving up the assets that you would like your family to receive someday with a donation in the form of a charitable lead trust.
  • Beneficiary Gifts Through Retirement Accounts: Naming Save the Children as a beneficiary is a simple and powerful way to support the lifechanging work of our organization without updating your will. All beneficiary gifts pass directly to Save the Children without going through the probate process. These gifts go right to work to help children across the world.

Advocate: Over 100 years ago, Save the Children’s pioneering founder established that children have rights. Today and every day, thanks to our supporters, we are advocates for the rights of 2.3 billion children around the world. Our political advocacy arm – Save the Children Action Network – was founded in 2014.

Through research, partnership and advocacy, our Global Policy and Advocacy team educates and cultivates political leadership to adopt proven practices, policies and programs for the world’s most vulnerable children, families and communities.
