Bequests

Bequests and Planned Giving

Within a donor’s thoughtful estate planning, a gift through a Will or Trust may be contributed to the Foundation .

The thoughtful donor may designate an investment/brokerage account or bank account(s) to benefit the Foundation.

Thoughtful philanthropy may name the Foundation as beneficiary of a planned gift such as a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT),  Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) or other structures.

A donor may designate the Foundation as beneficiary of a retirement plan, 401k or Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Importantly, the Foundation is a Type III Supporting Organization.  As such the Foundation is not able to accept contributions from a Charitable Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA).  This restriction applies to those beyond age 70 ½ and taking the annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
