Bequest
Charitable Gift Annuity
A bequest is a gift made through your will or trust. It is one of the most popular and flexible ways that you can support our cause and allows you to continue to use the property you will leave to us during your life and make a lasting impact on our work after you are gone.
A charitable gift annuity is a great way you can make a gift to our organization and benefit. You transfer your cash or property to our organization and we promise to make fixed payments to you for life at a rate based on your age.
Estate Planning
IRA Charitable QCD
Estate gifts are a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy while supporting causes that matter most to you. You can generate impact without affecting your current financial security.
An IRA charitable QCD allows individuals age 70 ½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.
