The Rewards of Charitable Giving

It feels good to help an organization close to your heart. Few things in life are more satisfying or enduring. Charitable giving carries on your values by supporting causes that reflect your passions and priorities.

Giving back is a way of life. The desire to give back is part of the human experience. It shapes our family life. It inspires our work and our community. When acted upon, it makes a profound impact on the lives of those we care about and provides an opportunity to leave a personal legacy.

Using tax-deductible bequests, trusts or other charitable giving options, you can reduce taxes while channeling funds to your favorite nonprofit organization.

When you leave a legacy through charitable giving - using tools like wills, appreciated securities, insurance policies and IRAs - you give wings to your lifelong dreams. You empower the hopes of future generations. In ways large and small, you truly change the world.

Established in 2005, The Volunteer Society of The Arc of Tennessee is a donor society created to recognize donors who support the organization with gifts of $100 or more each year.

Honor and memory gifts are another way to support the organization. The Arc will send a special card to those you wish to honor or families of those you wish to remember with your gifts.

All contributions make it possible for The Arc of Tennessee to provide information, advocacy and support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. You can show your appreciation for this service by mailing your tax-deductible gift to The Arc of Tennessee, 151 Athens Way, Suite 100, Nashville, TN 37228.
