WAYS OF GIVING

Outright Gifts

You can support the work of the Foundation with a gift of cash or securities (stocks or bonds), real estate or other personal assets and receive a tax deduction.

Charitable Gift Annuity

In exchange for a gift of cash or securities, the Foundation will pay you, you and your survivor, or another person you name, a guaranteed income for life. In the year of the gift, you will receive a substantial tax deduction, and a percentage of your ongoing income will be tax-free.

Bequest Through Will or Living Trust

A bequest to the Foundation can be a dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, a specific property, or what will be left after you have provided for your survivors.

Charitable Remainder Trusts (Annuity and Unitrusts)

Cash, securities or real estate are transferred to a trust which pays you joint- or single-lifetime income. You select the rate of return, set a fixed or variable annual payment, avoid capital gains taxes, and receive an additional tax deduction.

Charitable Lead Trust

Cash, securities or real estate are transferred to a trust which pays income to the Foundation for the number of years which you determine. The trust then terminates and assets are given back to the persons you name. Annual payments made to the Foundation are tax deductible.
