Frequently Asked Questions
Why Planned Giving?
- It’s easy. Helping families can be as simple as adding a sentence to your existing will or adding Ronald McDonald House Charities Louisville, Inc. on a beneficiary form.
- You have flexibility. Your gift can be a percentage, so it remains proportionate to other desires you wish to fulfill. It can also come to our House only after your other needs are met.
- You have options. Your gift can be unrestricted, or you can choose to help fund a specific program.
- You may realize tax benefits. Gifts of appreciated stock also help avoid capital gains and are accepted by Ronald McDonald House.
- Every gift will have a profound impact.
Do I need a will?
A will is important for everyone and can be useful regardless of estate size. It’s a way to support the people and causes important to you. Having a will ensures that your wishes are known, saving your loved ones the stress and cost of intestate probate proceedings.

Do I need to have an estate in order to leave a gift?
With a will/bequest, you can give a percentage of your estate, so that your gift will remain proportionate to the size of your estate, or you can give a certain amount of cash, securities or property. Either way, your gift allows you to retain full control of your assets now, while ensuring that will continue to give strength and support to families far into the future.
Do I need to tell you that I’ve arranged for the gift?
This is up to you. Contact Susan Skolnick, Chief Development Officer, to inform us of your gift so we can thank you and ensure your bequest will be fulfilled in a manner you intend.
