Make a Legacy Gift Commitment and Become a Champion

 

A gift to C.A.R.E. in your will, a bequest, is one of the easiest ways to leave a lasting impact on your favorite charity. With the help of a professional advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying that gifts are to be made to family and C.A.R.E. as part of your estate plan.

The benefits of securing such a plan are:

  • You choose to leave a lasting legacy to be remembered and that means something special to you
  • You may receive estate tax savings
  • You lessen the tax burden on your heirs and beneficiaries

Options for making gifts and bequests are:

 

  • You can make a beneficiary designation of assets
  • You can gift a specific asset or dollar amount
  • You can gift a percentage of your estate
  • You can gift the residue of your estate
