The Planned Giving Program at Covenant House Washington serves our contributors by providing information, assistance and administration for these gifts. Here are the ways you can invest in the future of Covenant House Washington as well as your own.

To assist you and your advisors in determining what would be best for you, our booklet Thoughtful Ways to Provide for our Kids in Your Will is available.
