Without You...
None of the good work of Abbott House would be possible without the interest and support of the many friends of these children. Gifts of all kinds sustain the agency and every day there are new ways that you can make a difference in a young life. We hope you will continue to support these children with your prayers and your gifts. Some of the ways you might help are:
- Gifts-in-kind

- Deferred Gifts and Estate Planning
- Gifts of Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, etc. benefit Abbott House children. These items can be given in trust, passing to Abbott House at a time you designate. Trusts can be designated to meet your needs now and later, and are a very flexible way to give major gifts. Most can be changed as your situation changes. You can also choose to assign all or part of the benefits from almost any Insurance Policy or Retirement Plan to Abbott House.

- Endowment Gifts
One of the long-term goals of Abbott House is to steadily work to build an endowment fund. The earnings from this fund will eventually provide significant operational support for Abbott House. This is to provide long-term security, and to guard against the uncertainties and ever-changing reliability of government funding sources.
