Ways to Support DLC

There are many simple and meaningful ways to create a lasting impact through planned giving:

Include DLC in Your Will or Trust

A gift through your estate plans can help continue DLC's mission for years to come.

Name DLC as a Beneficiary

You may designate DLC as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or investment account.

Support the DLC Endowment Fund

Donors may contribute to the DLC Endowment Fund held at the Florida United Methodist Foundation to help provide long-term financial stability for DLC's future.

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs)

A donor-advised fund allows individuals and families to make charitable contributions that can support organizations they care about over time.

Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs)

A Charitable Gift Annuity may provide income and tax benefits to donors while also supporting DLC's mission in the future.

Gifts of Stock or Appreciated Assets

Donating appreciated securities or assets may provide tax advantages while helping children and families at DLC.

Help Build DLC's Future

The DLC Endowment Fund, held at the Florida United Methodist Foundation, helps provide long-term sustainability for the ministry and mission of DLC.

Gifts to the endowment help ensure future generations of children with special needs and medical complexities continue receiving compassionate care, therapies, and educational support for years to come.

An endowment gift is more than a donation - it is an investment in hope, opportunity, and lasting impact.

Additional Planned Giving Opportunities

DLC is honored to partner with the Florida United Methodist Foundation to offer additional charitable giving opportunities that may benefit both donors and the ministry of DLC.

Donor Advised Funds

A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows donors to make charitable contributions, receive potential tax benefits, and recommend grants to organizations they care about over time.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) may provide fixed lifetime income to donors while creating a future legacy gift that supports DLC and other charitable ministries.

We encourage donors to speak with their financial and legal advisors to determine what giving options best fit their personal goals and family needs.

The DLC Legacy Circle

Individuals and families who include DLC in their estate or planned giving are invited to become part of the DLC Legacy Circle - a special group of supporters, helping build brighter futures for generations to come.

Legacy Circle members help ensure DLC's mission of love, education, and compassionate care continues for years ahead.

Every Gift Tells a Story

Because of generous supporters, children at DLC experience milestones many families once thought impossible - first steps, first words, increased independence, and joyful moments of growth.

Your planned gift helps continue these life-changing moments for future children and families.
