By including us in your estate plan or will, you can create a lasting impact that benefits future generations. Your generous gift ensures our organization can continue its vital work, providing essential services to the community. Consider legacy giving today to carry forward your values and beliefs. Your contribution can make a difference that transcends time! Consider one of the many ways you can leave your legacy!
Bequests – Bequests through wills and estate plans – Giving through bequests in wills and estate plans is a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy. By including our organization in your estate plan, you can ensure your values continue to make an impact. Your generous support can help us achieve our mission for years to come.
Charitable remainder trusts – A charitable remainder trust (CRT) allows you to support our organization while retaining income for yourself or your beneficiaries during your lifetime. With a CRT, you receive potential tax benefits, and after the trust term ends, the remaining assets are donated to us. It’s a smart way to give back while ensuring financial security.
Gifts of life insurance – Consider donating a life insurance policy as a meaningful gift to our organization. By naming us as the beneficiary, you can make a significant impact while potentially receiving tax benefits. This thoughtful contribution ensures that your legacy continues to support our mission for years to come.
Charitable gift annuities – A charitable gift annuity allows you to make a generous gift to our organization while securing a steady income stream for yourself or a loved one. In exchange for your contribution, you’ll receive fixed payments for life, along with potential tax benefits. It’s a smart way to support our mission and enjoy financial security.
Donor-advised funds – Donor-advised funds (DAFs) offer a flexible way to support our organization while maximizing your charitable impact. With a DAF, you can make a tax-deductible donation, recommend grants to us and other charities over time, and manage your giving strategy. It’s an easy way to align your philanthropic goals with your values.
Endowments – Consider establishing an endowment to support our organization for generations to come. An endowment allows your gift to be invested, with the earnings funding our mission over time. This ensures a sustainable source of support while honoring your legacy.
Retirement Fund – Consider donating from your retirement fund to support our organization. By directing funds from your IRA or 401(k), you can make a significant impact while potentially reducing your taxable income. This option allows you to contribute to our mission in a meaningful way during your lifetime.
Stock Donation – Donating appreciated stock is a great way to support our organization while maximizing your tax benefits. By giving stocks directly, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full market value. This method not only helps our mission but also benefits you financially.
Make a Tribute Gifts – Make your gift in honor or memory of a person or an occasion. A special card will be sent to recognize your tribute gift.
