Ways to give
There are many ways to make a Legacy Gift to Choices LRC. Explore the options below to find an approach that aligns with your philanthropic and financial goals.
Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual Funds
Highly appreciated asset gifts can be transferred to CHOICES account at Edward Jones. These types of gifts are a simple way to give and offer attractive tax benefits, including avoiding capital gains tax on the appreciation and, if you have owned the securities for more than 12 months, you may claim a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the share you donate rather than the purchase price. Consult with your financial advisor.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) / IRA Charitable Rollover*
A Qualified Charitable Distribution, or IRA Charitable Rollover, allows individuals who are 70½ or older to make a gift of any amount, up to $100,000, directly from their IRA to CHOICES. The gift would satisfy any IRA required minimum distributions for the year. It is simple to make an IRA rollover gift to your favorite charity – just consult with your retirement plan administrator and tell them you would like to make an IRA Charitable Rollover distribution to CHOICES.
Beneficiary Designation Gifts
Naming CHOICES as a beneficiary of your life insurance, IRA or other qualified retirement plan is an easy way to make a significant and life-affirming gift and does not affect assets you may need during your lifetime. Retirement account assets are great choices for charitable giving because of the significant income tax burden likely paid by heirs and because they can be made without the need to modify your will or estate plan.
Expressions of Sympathy
You may be a person who has partnered with CHOICES for years. Your legacy can continue as you invite friends and loved ones to donate on your behalf, or on behalf of your loved one. While many families appreciate flowers and gifts, a gift to life-saving work has great impact for future generations.
Estate Planning
Contact your attorney regarding adding CHOICES to your Will or Estate plan. If you would like a list of pro-life attorneys who may offer these services at a reduced fee, click the link to email us.
