Legacy Giving for Children in Foster Care

Your Gift. Generations of Change.

Your compassion today becomes a child’s stability tomorrow.

What Is Legacy Giving?

A legacy gift is a powerful way to ensure your compassion continues for years
to come—helping provide safe, stable, and nurturing homes for
children in foster care.

Your generosity supports life-changing programs that help youth find permanency,
build connections, and thrive into adulthood. Together, we can ensure every
child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe and supportive home.

Leave a Legacy of Hope

In addition to annual giving, you can create lasting impact through a legacy gift. By including Northeast Ohio Adoption Services (NOAS) in your estate plans, you help ensure that children in foster care continue to find safe, supportive families—now and for generations to come.

Your legacy gift is more than a donation—it is a reflection of your values and your belief that every child deserves stability, connection, and care.
