Join the Legacy Challenge and you will see your gifts in action today while ensuring your giving will benefit children tomorrow.

Right now, if you make Arkansas Children's a beneficiary in your will or estate plans, a portion of your future gift will be matched — up to $1 million — from a total of $5 million in available matching funds!

This means, when you let us know we're in your estate plans, you trigger a 25 percent match of funds that can be used today. For example, if you leave Arkansas Children's a future gift of $100,000 in your will or estate plans, an additional $25,000 will benefit kids at Arkansas Children's immediately!
