Planned Giving

Our programs and services are made possible through the generosity and commitment of people like you. Consider leaving a legacy of support by making a planned gift to the Alzheimer's Association that allows you to combine your charitable giving goals with your estate and financial planning goals.

The Alzheimer's Association offers you a variety of planned giving arrangements, including charitable gift annuities, trusts and bequests.

  • Charitable Gift Annuities
    The Alzheimer's Association offers charitable gift annuities, which are simple contracts between a donor and a charity (such as the Alzheimer's Association), to pay the donor a fixed amount, usually quarterly, for the rest of his or her life, in exchange for an initial gift of $5,000 or more.

    Gift annuities are easy to establish and offer a tax deduction at the time of the initial gift. In addition, a portion of the lifetime payments made to the annuitant may be tax-free. Gift annuities may be established for one or two annuitants and may be funded with cash or appreciated stock.

  • Bequests
    A bequest is to name the Alzheimer's Association East Central Iowa Chapter in your will.  You do not need to rewrite your will, a simple amendment (codicil) will do. The essential language to be included in your will or codicil may read:

    "I give, devise, and bequeath (indicate amount, percentage of estate, remainder or specific property) to the Alzheimer's Association East Central Iowa Chapter, Federal Exemption Number: 42-1333384."

By informing us of your plan, you will automatically be enrolled in this prestigious society.

Memorial and Tribute Giving

  • Memorial Giving
    A memorial gift may be given in honor of an individual who has passed away.  Upon receipt of your gift, we will send a memorial card to the family of the deceased that does not specify the amount of the gift.

  • Tribute Giving
    A tribute gift is an opportunity to acknowledge a special occasion for family or friends such as a wedding anniversary or birthday.  We will mark the occasion by sending a card to the person you designate that announces the gift but not the amount.
