One of the greatest gifts you can give your family is clarity.

Many people spend years supporting organizations and causes they care about. But have you ever stopped to think about what happens to those charitable intentions if you are no longer able to manage your financial affairs?

You do not have to create a rigid plan that can never change. The goal is to document your intentions while you can clearly communicate them.

A good planning conversation today can prevent difficult questions tomorrow. Read more here>> https://www.arcf.org/blog/charitable-giving-plan-while-you-can/

The Arkansas Imagination Library has been supported by us for a while. Please join us in honoring the life and philanthropy of Ms. Dolly Parton by enrolling a child into the program. The link is below. Thank you!

Today, Arkansas Imagination Library joins people around the world in mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, an extraordinary woman whose vision changed childhood for millions.

Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, Dolly placed books into the hands and homes of children around the world and inspired a love of reading from the very beginning.

Here in Arkansas, Dolly’s vision has reached every county in our state. More than 82,000 Arkansas children currently receive an Imagination Library book in the mail each month, and more than 7 million books have been delivered to Arkansas children since the program began in our state in 2005.

Thank you, Dolly, for believing so deeply in the power of books and the potential of every child. Your legacy will live on for generations. We will always love you. ❤️

You can enroll a child into the program at ArkansasImaginationLibrary.org/enroll/

Arkansans wishing to honor Dolly by helping provide books to children here at home may donate directly to Arkansas Imagination Library at ArkansasImaginationLibrary.org/give.
