There are very simple ways (with minimal effort and paperwork) that you can designate assets for our use. These include listing us as a beneficiary and bequests.

 

·         When you name us as the beneficiary of an asset, there's no income tax charitable deduction because you can change your mind at any time. At your death, however, the assets will pass to us, and your estate will be eligible for an estate tax deduction equal to the value of the gift. Examples of assets that fall under this category are: insurance policies, bank accounts, transfer-on-death accounts and retirement and pension benefits.

 

·         Another easy form of giving is a bequest to us in your will. The tax laws encourage bequests; consequently, a bequest is an excellent way to support our programs. When you make a bequest to us, your taxable estate is reduced by a 100 percent estate tax deduction for the amount of a cash bequest, or the fair market value of property.
