Leave a lasting impact

Include Didi Hirsch in your estate plans

Charitable gifts help you meet your philanthropic goals and extend your generosity well into the future. A planned gift can also protect your assets, provide for your family, and guarantee you income for life. You can even make a significant impact through a gift that costs nothing in your lifetime (through a charitable bequest under your will.) These types of gifts include:

• Wills and Living Trusts – secure a charitable estate-tax deduction for the value of the gift and know that your generosity will support our mission for years to come.
• Retirement Plans – your retirement-plan benefits are likely a significant portion of your net worth, and because of special tax considerations, they could make an excellent choice for funding a charitable gift.
• Appreciated Securities – gifts of long-term appreciated property can generate the most favorable tax benefits: a charitable deduction (in most cases) for the full fair-market value of the property plus avoidance of any potential capital-gain tax.
• Life Insurance – life insurance itself can be the direct funding medium for a gift, permitting the donor to make a substantial gift (face value of policy) for a relatively modest annual outlay (i.e., the premium payment).
