You may have heard about planned giving but are not familiar with the benefits. A planned gift is quite easy – it requires some planning but helps you and our purpose. Planned giving is philanthropy that involves estate and financial planning.
When you include The ATSS Foundation in your estate planning, your investment helps to promote roadway safety through public awareness and supports the dependents of roadway workers killed or permanently disabled in work zone incidents.
Uncover the giving option that works best for your goals. Donors may choose to establish a bequest, make a qualified charitable distribution, or name The Foundation as a beneficiary in a retirement plan or life insurance policy. Individuals interested in planned giving should contact their financial planner, attorney or tax advisor to learn about their options and to make the gift most suited to their wishes and financial situation.
When you participate in planned giving with The ATSS Foundation, you can help to:
- Provide scholarships for loved ones of fallen or permanently disabled roadway workers until we can reduce the number of work zone deaths.
- Honor those who died in work zones, including work zone workers, motorists, pedestrians, law enforcement officers, public safety officials (i.e., firefighters and paramedics) and children through supporting the National Work Zone Memorial.
- Give children the opportunity to work through the grief of losing a loved one in a safe space among other children going through a similar situation through Experience Camps Travel Scholarships.
- Support the education of new engineers employed by a public agency that specialize in work zone safety and temporary traffic control through the Marty Weed Engineering Scholarship.
