In partnership with Communities In Schools, you can leave a legacy that will affect sustainable change in the lives of underserved students across the country for years to come.

​

Planned gifts create reliable funding streams, ensuring CIS has sustainable resources to support our mission in reaching the remaining 11 million students in need of our services. Additionally, planned gifts to CIS are a fantastic way to both demonstrate your legacy of support for education equality while also securing personal tax benefits for your future plans.

​

A typical planned gift is bequest language designating a gift to Communities In Schools within a will or trust. Please reference the below sample bequest language that uses our legal name Communities In Schools of New Mexico and federal tax identification number 85-0481104:
