Welcome to Gillette Children's Foundation Planned Giving

Gillette has served children and young adults with disabilities for more than 100 years and has earned world-wide recognition for its treatment, technology and expertise. We've served hundreds of thousands of children with special challenges yet still, children with disabilities continue to struggle to find their place in society which all to often rejects them. You can help a child with disabilities realize the greatest possible independence, well-being and enjoyment in life. Your charitable gifts can provide tax benefits, another source of income for your family, or both. And your contribution will make a real difference. To discover how you can partner with Gillette to meet your charitable goals, please consider the following examples. Check this out

At Gillette, we work primarily with children who have disabilities -- disabilities that usually can be minimized, but seldom cured. For many of these children, a cure is not essential -- they face the world with the same courage, determination and perseverance as other children. We have the enviable task of helping them do this.
