Child sponsors provide the children at Brit’s Home access to everything they need to ensure a healthy and successful start to their lives. Your generosity allows us to develop an individualized life plan, tailored to each child’s unique needs, in order to promote the healthiest development
and growth of these future leaders.
Meet the Kids
Britsionarys travel to Haiti and work side-by-side with Haitian workers and interact with the children at Brit’s Home - to achieve a common goal - to fulfill Britney's last wish to help the children of Haiti.Our Britsionary Program was created to provide an opportunity for volunteers to gain a better understanding of global partnerships and cultures.
Short-term Britsionary groups take a 1 week service trip to Brit’s Home in Haiti, to help with youth and community outreach projects and immerse themselves in the beautiful Haitian culture. This program gives young adults an opportunity to enhance their understanding of poverty and development while also broadening their global perspective. For Non-Medical Britsionarys, the mornings are spent building a home for a family in need in our community, and the afternoons are spent doing programmatic activities with the children (field trips, coloring, games, learning activities, etc.). For Medical Britsionarys, the mornings and some afternoons are spent working in the BLB or local public clinic, and the remaining time is spent with the children and the Britsionary group.

Life Estate Contract
A donor may choose to establish a life estate contract through which he or she transfers ownership of a real estate deed to Be Like Brit while reserving the right for him/herself or other designated parties to live on the property or use it for life. Charitable tax deductions for life estate contracts are limited to properties that are personal residences.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Through a charitable gift annuity, an individual can create a contract with Be Like Brit in which he/she agrees to donate cash, stocks or other assets in exchange for a mutually agreed upon amount of income for life. In this way, the donor is providing for guaranteed income in his/her future while also ensuring needed support for Be Like Brit
Charitable Lead Trusts
A charitable lead trust offers donors the tax-wise opportunity to transfer assets to a trust that provides income to Be Like Brit for a specified period of time. At the end of that period, the trust reverts either back to the donor or a person designated by the donor.
Charitable Remainder Trust
By establishing a charitable remainder trust, an individual is able to transfer his/her assets into a trust while retaining a fixed or variable income for life. In this way, he/she realizes significant tax benefits, secures future income, determines future distributions to his/her beneficiaries and ensures support for Be Like Brit. Be Like Brit is awarded the remainder of the trust's worth after the death of the last beneficiary.
Pooled Income Fund
Through a pooled income fund, a common trust is established to which many donors can make contributions and retain for themselves a pro rata share of the fund's earnings each year. Following the death of a beneficiary, Be Like Brit receives the value of the fund that is attributable to that individual. This type of fund is similar to a mutual fund and provides many financial and estate planning benefits to the donor.
