CHW Legacy Circle
Connect with your roots
We know you share our vision of a better world. As your partner in philanthropy, CHW can help turn your vision into reality. It starts now and continues with the legacy you leave behind.
It is a seed you plant today that grows into something strong, something that will help make a difference in the lives of so many women and children in need. CHW funds several programs and projects supporting healthcare, education and social services which benefit women and children in Israel and Canada.
Through the lasting friendships you built over the years with CHW, and our vital projects that have touched your life, together we become part of your extended family.
Consider a planned gift to enjoy significant tax and financial advantages while providing financial security for our projects in Israel to sustain them for generations to come.
Did you know that leaving a gift to CHW in your will can significantly reduce your taxes during your lifetime, while decreasing the estate tax burden for your heirs? Making a planned gift to CHW allows you to take care of your extended CHW family, while still ensuring the future of your loved ones.
