Imagine your impact on a child’s life.
By including CSI in your estate plans, you will be welcomed into our Legacy Society—a special community of supporters who are committed to protecting, nurturing, and empowering vulnerable children. You can choose to receive public recognition or remain anonymous.
Your legacy gift will ensure that our work continues long into the future, providing hope, healing and support for children and families who need it most. Legacy Society members receive recognition for their commitments and are invited to connect with others who share their vision.
Our Members
Legacy Society members come from a wide range of ages and backgrounds, from younger donors planning their futures to older supporters securing their meaningful legacy. You don’t need to be wealthy to join. Rather, Legacy Society membership is designed for high-commitment donors—those who are truly dedicated to CSI’s mission through consistent giving, volunteering, supporting programs, attending events, and other forms of ongoing involvement.
Member Benefits
Legacy Society members are invited to special event(s), and Legacy Society members who agree to public recognition are listed on the agency television monitors, on the agency website and listed once a year in the agency newsletter.
Create Your Legacy
We understand that planning your estate for future generations, including your charitable interests, takes careful evaluation. Our team is here to help make the process as simple as possible by providing information, guidance and resources every step of the way. Act now to take the steps you need to be a good steward of the resources you intend to leave behind. This program welcomes anyone with a deep commitment to our mission.
What’s Your “Why?”
Members of the Legacy Society have many reasons for including Child Saving Institute (CSI) in their estate planning:
Some are continuing a family tradition, like the donor who remembers when his mother and others at her church canned fruits and jellies to feed CSI children during the Great Depression.- Some are parents who are grateful for the support and resources CSI has provided during their family’s journey.
- Others, adopted from CSI as babies, have made gifts in honor of their loving parents.
- Some were longtime employees or volunteers of CSI who want to pave the way for those who will continue their work with Omaha’s vulnerable children.
- Others still are generous community members who care deeply about CSI’s mission, have seen its impact, and trust CSI to continue their commitment for years to come.
So, what’s your why? If you are a current Legacy Society member or are looking to become one, we want to hear from you. Please reach out to share your story with us.
