Auberle has been dedicated to the mission of caring for and healing abused, neglected and troubled children throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania for over 50 years. We have been able to help thousands of children and their families through our residential care, foster care, emergency shelter, in-home intervention, education and community programs. Family preservation, the reuniting of families in a positive home environment and preparing children to be responsible adults are the ultimate goals of Auberle.

It is through the contributions of our donors that essential care is provided to the children and families of Auberle. Government sources provide some but not all of the funding for the multiple services we provide. With much appreciation, we want to make you aware that there are a variety of ways to make a gift to Auberle.

Cash Gifts… as a donation or in memory or honor of a loved one or friend, to support the annual operations of providing comprehensive care to over 1,500 children each year.

Appreciated Securities…stock gifts may provide a possible benefit for you. If you sell securities, you owe capital gains tax on the appreciation. If you wish to donate them, you pay no capital gain tax and qualify for an income tax charitable deduction for the mean market value on the date of the gift. Please note that there are limitations depending on your income.

Estate Gift…you may name Auberle as a beneficiary of your will, living trust, or retirement plan. Your gift through your estate plan could be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of the total value or the remainder of your estate after all other gifts have been made.

Charitable Gift Annuity… is a very simple life income gift. In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash or securities, the Diocese on Auberle’s behalf agrees to pay you (or perhaps you & your spouse) a fixed sum each year for life. The payment rate is determined by the age(s) of income recipients(s). The remainder value is given to Auberle after your death.

Charitable Trust…with the help of your attorney, a charitable trust can be created that gives you an income tax charitable deduction in the year you create it. Until your death, or the death of you and your spouse, the income is paid to you at a frequency you desire and calculated in one of two ways approved by the IRS. The remainder value is given to Auberle after your death.

Life Insurance…makes an excellent gift if you have a policy that is no longer needed for its intended purpose or for your family’s security. With the help of your insurance agent, you can make Auberle the owner and beneficiary and receive tax benefit for doing so. New policies may also be created to provide such a benefit and on-going premium payments can be used for income tax charitable deductions. Finally, you can also simply designate Auberle as the beneficiary of your policy, or a portion thereof, and retain ownership rights forgoing tax benefit.

A unique way to say thank you to your clients or friends -- a gift to charity in their honor.

And more…there are many additional ways to make a gift by combining several of the above, creating a lead trust that provides income to Auberle and returns the principal to you at a future date, making a gift of specific property now or through your estate or making a gift of property but retaining rights to it during your lifetime.
