Plan Ahead for Central’s Future

Planned giving can help maximize your support for Central High School while helping you achieve your financial and philanthropic objectives. Combining financial planning, estate planning, and tax planning techniques, planned giving enables donors to make gifts of surprising significance, often with dramatic tax and financial rewards.

In the process of planned giving, it’s important to begin by identifying your charitable goals and desires. Once we understand how you envision making an impact on Central High School we can then work with you, your advisors, and representatives of Central in putting together a gift plan. Our goal is to develop a plan that benefits you, your family, and Central High School.

For more information, please contact the Central High School Foundation office at (402) 556-1996 or foundation@chsfomaha.org.
