Planned Giving
Your legacy can open doors, strengthen families, and keep our community thriving.
A Legacy of Care and Community
Every day, CASL walks alongside children, parents, grandparents, and new arrivals building their lives in Chicago. Your generosity makes this support possible.
A planned gift is a meaningful way to continue that care far into the future. With a simple provision in your will, trust, or financial plans, you can help ensure that individuals and families will always have a place to learn, grow, and belong.
Your gift reflects the values that have shaped your life. It becomes part of the story you leave for the next generation.
How Planned Giving Can Make a Difference
A planned gift does not require giving today. It simply means including CASL as part of your future plans — in a way that fits your life and the needs of your loved ones.
Your legacy supports:
-
Language learning and job readiness
-
Safe and enriching care for seniors
-
Early childhood education and youth development
-
Community health, wellness, and stability
-
Connection, belonging, and cultural pride
Your story continues through the lives you touch.
Ways to Create Future Support
You can shape your legacy in the way that feels right to you:
Honor Someone Dear to You
A gift in your will or trust can keep the memory and values of someone meaningful alive in the community.
Give Through Investments
Donating stocks, mutual funds, or other assets may offer tax advantages while expanding the reach of your generosity.
Support Community Well-Being
You can name CASL as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, or donate a policy that is no longer needed.
Plan with Both Family and Community in Mind
Some gifts may reduce estate tax exposure and eliminate capital gains.
Choose a Gift That Provides Income
Certain planned giving tools can provide income to you or a loved one while creating future support for CASL.
