About Planned Gifts...
Bequest
When you leave a gift to the Foundation in your will, this gift is
called a "bequest." The gift can take many forms, including a gift of a
specific amount or a gift of a portion (e.g., a percentage) of your estate.
Endowment
When you make a gift to The Foundation that requires The Foundation to spend only income earned on the gift (and not the gift itself), the gift is called and "endowment." The Foundation has a number of endowment funds already in place to which contributions can be made. Alternatively, it may be possible to establish a new endowment fund.
Gift Of Property
Some examples of gifts of property made to The Foundation include real estate, art, and marketable securities (i.e., stocks, and bonds).
Life Insurance
You may be able to gift ownership of a life insurance policy to The Foundation during your lifetime and, if done correctly, such a gift may entitle you to a tax credit. There are a number of other ways in which life insurance products can be used to make a gift to The Foundation.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A "trust" is an arrangement under which you transfer property to a trustee to administer for the benefit of one or more persons or organizations.
