Impactful legacy planning with tax-smart gifts
Choosing to donate non-cash assets diversifies giving options and maximizes the impact of charitable contributions
Why people make planned gifts
Planned gifts cost nothing today and allow you to make an incredible impact in the future. Most planned gifts are designated in a will or trust.
Tax-smart gifts for the FUTURE
Gifts for the future allow you to honor your loved ones and support what’s most important in your life.
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are by far the most popular type of planned gift. We can help you add charity: water into your existing plans or, if you don’t have a will or trust, help you set one up at no cost to you.
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k)s or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
