Planned Giving
You can leave a living legacy to make sure that the St. Clair Butterfly Foundation continues to provide therapeutic creative arts programs for disadvantaged youth. Planned giving typically comes from a donor’s assets, and can be either outright or deferred.
Planning Your Gift
We recommend consulting with your financial or legal advisor when considering a planned gift.
​
Please include the St. Clair Butterfly Foundation (Tax ID: 20-8917561) in your estate planning documents.
​
The Butterfly Warrior Legacy
The Butterfly Warrior Legacy recognizes individuals who choose to invest in long-term system change through estate giving.
​
These contributions ensure that SCBF’s neuroscience-based model continues to strengthen schools and communities for years to come.
​
Rather than addressing behavior after it occurs, SCBF works at the system level, helping environments become more consistent, less reactive, and better equipped to support regulation, learning, and accountability.
​
Planned gifts support the expansion of this work, allowing more schools, districts, and organizations to implement sustainable approaches that improve outcomes over time.
​
Legacy Impact
Your legacy helps build environments where:
• regulation precedes correction
• consistency replaces reactivity
• students are able to engage, learn, and succeed
​
This is not short-term support. It is long-term system stability.
​
Your legacy does not just support individuals.
It strengthens the systems that shape their future.
