Planned Giving
Planning giving: Bequests and charitable gift annuities
Bequests and charitable gift annuities (CGAs) are two popular types of planned gifts that can provide for you and your family and also make a lasting contribution to the Alzheimer's Association.
Note: The Alzheimer's Association strongly encourages donors to work with their attorneys and financial professionals to determine which type of planned gift may be most suitable for their individual situation. Chapter staff will be pleased to answer any questions you or your advisor may have.
Bequests - naming the Alzheimer's Association in your will
The following language can be taken to your professional counsel:
"I [name] of [city, state, ZIP] give, devise and bequeath to the Greater Dallas Chapter of the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (Alzheimer's Association) TIN 75-2041194 [insert written amount of gift, percentage of estate or residuary of the estate or description of property] for its unrestricted use and purpose."
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.
Gifts of Real Estate
Gifts of real estate held long-term (longer than one year) are deductible at full fair market value, with no tax of the gain or appreciation above original cost.
A gift of real estate is another way to make a significant impact in lives of individuals with Alzheimer' disease and their families. You benefit by not paying capital gains tax on the gift and having a charitable deduction at full fair market value.
Gifts of Life Insurance
A life insurance policy may become obsolete years after it was originally purchased. When life insurance is no longer needed, you could consider giving the policy to the Alzheimer's Association. For more information on donating your life insurance policy, please call 214-540-2422.
Gifts of Life Income
Charitable trusts enable supporters of the Alzheimer's Association to make a significant contribution to the Chapter while continuing to receive an income for life. There are two basic types of charitable trusts:
Charitable Remainder Trust: This is very flexible and is designed to match the financial aims of the donor. It is a great vehicle for
appreciated property and can create a solid income stream for the donor.
The Charitable Lead Trust: This creates an income stream for the Alzheimer's Association upon creation and also allows the donor
to accelerate the deduction into the year the trust is created. It is an excellent vehicle to transfer property to the next generation.
Donate Your Vehicle
Donate your car, boat RV or other vehicle to benefit the Alzheimer's Association.
