A gift that costs nothing during your lifetime.
Planned Giving
Did you know there are creative ways to support Child Saving Institute? Ways in which CSI, you and your loved ones all benefit at the same time?
Such giving techniques are called "planned gifts," because with thoughtful planning, you create win-win solutions for you and CSI.

Meet the Legacy Society
Members of the Legacy Society have many reasons for including Child Saving Institute (CSI) in their will (or other plans).
- Some are continuing a family tradition of caring for CSI's children. 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.
- Others, adopted from CSI as babies, have made their gifts in honor of their loving parents.
- Some are adoptive parents, thankful for the opportunities CSI has given them.
- Some worked at CSI for a time, and want to pave the way for those who will continue their work with Omaha's vulnerable children.
- Others still are generous people who care deeply about the well-being of children and trust CSI to continue their commitment to kids for years to come.
Read the stories below of some of our Legacy Society members about why they give, and consider your relationship to CSI. You, too, can become part of the good future for the children CSI serves.
