For a general gift of a certain percentage or portion of your estate: “I give to Prevent Child Abuse America [#] % of my estate.”
For a gift of a specific asset: “I give [#] shares of [name] stock to Prevent Child Abuse America.”
For a contingent bequest, which takes effect only when certain conditions are met: “In the event my spouse does not survive me, I give to Prevent Child Abuse America the remainder of my estate.”
For a residual bequest, which directs the disposition of all or a portion of whatever remains after all other required amounts are paid: “I give the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to Prevent Child Abuse America.”
Accepted Planned Gifts
Gifts Through Your Will or Trust Name PCA America as a beneficiary through your will or living trust.
You will maintain full control of your assets and you can change the bequest at any time. Gifts of Life Insurance All life insurance policies allow a policy owner to identify one or more beneficiaries. Ownership of a life insurance policy can also be transferred to PCA America.
IRA Beneficiary Designation
A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to make a gift to support PCA America. You can designate us as a beneficiary of a retirement, investment or bank account or your life insurance policy. Your retirement asset management company can provide you with these beneficiary designation forms, on which you can list beneficiaries to your accounts.
IRA Charitable Rollover
While you are living, especially for people over the age of 70 ½, who are required to take minimum distributions from their IRA, there may be advantages to consider a gift through an IRA distribution.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Trust is a gift of cash or other property to an irrevocable trust. The donor receives an income stream from the trust for a term of years or for life and PCA America receives the remaining trust assets at the end of the trust term.
Charitable Lead Trust
If you are looking for a way to pass on some of your assets to your family while reducing or eliminating gift or estate taxes, a charitable lead trust is an excellent option. You can transfer your cash or property to fund a lead trust that makes gifts to PCA America for a number of years. You receive a charitable deduction for the gift. Your family receives the remainder at substantial tax savings.
