Top 10 Things You Can Do to
Leave a Legacy
- Prepare a will. Only 50% of those who pass away have one.
Without a will, you may lose control over your belongings.
- Leave a gift in your will for the nonprofit and charitable
organizations that made a difference in your life. Less than 6% of American
households have included nonprofits in an estate plan. Imagine the positive
impact on our community if everyone made a donation to a favorite nonprofit.
- Leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of the
assets in your will to a nonprofit of your choice.
- Consider using assets for your charitable gift. These
include but aren't limited to: stocks, bonds, CDs, real estate, vehicles, art
and jewelry. Such gifts may even provide tax savings.
- Name a nonprofit of your choice as the beneficiary of your
pension plan or IRA.
- Purchase a new life insurance policy naming your favorite
nonprofit as the beneficiary.
- Name your favorite nonprofit as the beneficiary of an
existing life insurance policy.
- Remember loved ones with memorial gifts.
- Encourage family and friends to leave gifts to nonprofits
in their wills.
- Ask your financial advisor to include charitable giving as
a part of client counseling.
