Help secure the future of OCC with a Planned Gift.
Planned giving is an easy way to ensure that Ossining Children’s Center will always be here - generations into the future. Planned gifts can include bequests through your will, gifts that provide income to you and others for life, gifts of life insurance or retirement plans and so much more.
Planned giving is not just for those with large amounts of expendable income. In fact, the majority of estate gifts come from those of average means, and do not require hiring a lawyer. Every gift, regardless of size, makes a huge difference to future generations of children in Ossining.
