Planned Giving |
|
Planned gifts are gifts through your will
(as known as a "bequest"), charitable gift
annuities, gifts of life insurance, pooled
income funds, and charitable trusts. There
are often tax advantages to the donor with
this type of gift. The Centennial Chapter
offers free and confidential estate planning
services to anyone who is interested. For
further information, please contact the
Financial Development Director of the
Centennial Chapter of the American Red Cross
at 970-226-5728 or 800-824-6615.
Bequest
Many of our supporters make charitable gifts
by naming the American Red Cross Centennial
Chapter in their wills.
Life Income Gift
You irrevocably transfer some assets to the
American Red Cross now, and in return, you
(and a survivor, if you wish) receive income
for life.
Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our supporters no longer need their
life insurance that was purchased years ago
to provide for children or other family
member, and donate the policy to the
American Red Cross.
Pooled Income Fund
Your gift of money, marketable securities,
or both is invested together with similar
gifts from other supporters.
Charitable Lead Trust
Individuals with very large estates can use
a charitable lead trust to benefit the
American Red Cross Centennial Chapter and
pass principal to family members with little
or not tax penalty.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Your IRA assets will be transferred to a
charitable remainder trust, the trust will
provide life income to the beneficiary, and
then an eventual gift to the American Red
Cross Centennial Chapter. |
