What if you could support civic education with a gift of $100 and have it multiply to $200 or $300 without any additional money coming out of your pocket? Many employers will match charitable contributions of employees, retirees, and sometimes spouses. Contact your human resources department or community relations office and inquire about their matching gifts program. If they do offer one, request a matching gifts form, fill it out, email it to development@civiced.org or mail it to:

Including the Center in your estate plans helps ensure that a robust constitutional and civic education lives on to sustain our democracy.

With a planned gift, you incorporate charitable intentions into your long-term financial planning. These gifts are the legacy you leave behind. By participating in planned giving with the Center for Civic Education, you are ensuring the ongoing cultivation of an enlightened and responsible citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy well into the future.

Making a Bequest

Planned gifts cost you nothing during your lifetime, leaving your day-to-day financials unchanged. A line in your will or revocable trust proclaims your commitment to the Center's mission in the long term, making a difference in the lives of future generations.

A bequest is easy to arrange, will not alter your current lifestyle in any way, and can be easily modified to address your changing needs.
