Legacy starts when what God does in our lives impacts someone else’s. Legacy grows when we plant goodness, which will still be at work when we are no longer present.

Proverbs 10: 7 “The memory of the righteous is blessed.”
The Channel Inc. Securing the future
Registered as The Channel Inc. (Channel to Brazil for Christ), is one of the most established non-profits in Hampton Roads. Since 1995, the organization has faithfully maintained its status as a compliant 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, raising funds across the USA, and delivering quality educational services that transform the lives of children in Brazil.
We sum up one of our greatest values as an organization with the words Results and Relationship. By maintaining relationships and sharing our results, we have sustained our mission, connected our donors, and demonstrated our success. Furthermore, we have cemented our values of creating hope and opportunity without causing dependency.
As we consider the future, we recognize the value of legacy giving. For those of us who have invested a lifetime in giving to causes close to our hearts, the thought of leaving a legacy after we are gone is a natural progression.
Full Consideration
Deciding how to leave your estate involves big decisions. Consulting with financial and gift-giving professionals is strongly encouraged to ensure full consideration of tax benefits and estate planning options. Make your wishes clear and let those you love know your intentions.
How Would My Gift Be Used?
The Board of Directors of CBC has determined that legacy gifts will be paid into a designated fund so they can be given special consideration. This means that legacy funds can be used for special purposes or projects.
Do I have to Tell You About It?
No. It is not necessary, but we invite you to let us know. We would be honored to know because relationships are very important to us. It also helps with our financial planning. We can also help make sure that your gift is planned correctly. (That you have our correct legal name and EIN).
