Our Donors Are Our HEROES!

We are YOUR Red Cross
We have been a part of the Lakeway area for almost 90 years. Your gifts to local operations are used in your home county. We teach your children how to prepare for and respond to fires, how to swim, emergency first aid skills, and the importance of good hygiene. We help your neighbors who are the victims of house fires in the middle of the night. Your friends are our donors and volunteers. Won’t you please join them in supporting your Red Cross?

Insure Our Community - Make a Planned Gift
When you give to the Red Cross, you feel a tremendous satisfaction knowing that you are helping people. Your financial gifts allow the Lakeway Area Red Cross to continue as the lifeblood of our community. A charitable donation may also provide tax benefits for you and your family. But, most importantly, a gift to the Red Cross enables you to leave a lasting legacy.

Gifts of Stock and Mutual Funds
You may own stock or mutual funds that have gone up or down in value. In either case, you may benefit by using these securities in a gift to help Red Cross.

Gifts by Will
Many of our contributors make charitable gifts by naming the American Red Cross, Lakeway Area Chapter in their wills. If you already have a current estate plan, executing a codicil is simple. Please consult with your attorney. To make a bequest, the following language will help your attorney:

"I give, devise and bequeath to the Lakeway Area Chapter of the American Red Cross the sum of $__________ (or designate the percentage of the estate or otherwise describe the gift)."

Charitable Gift Annuities - Life Income Gifts
Imagine making a gift to the Lakeway Area Chapter of the American Red Cross and then opening the mail a few months later and finding a check from the Red Cross payable to you! It is not as far-fetched as it sounds, because you can make a gift to the Red Cross and receive income for life.

Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our contributors no longer need their life insurance that was purchased years ago to provide for children or other family members, and donate the policy to the American Red Cross, Lakeway Area Chapter.
 
Charitable Trusts
Individuals with large estates can use a charitable trust to benefit the American Red Cross, Lakeway Area Chapter, and pass principle to family members with little or no tax penalty.

Gifts of Retirement Plans
