Thoughts on Planning Now to Give Later
The statements below are for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal,
financial, or other professional advice. WHF encourages donors to consult their attorney,
accountant or financial advisor prior to making a gift.
Bequests
Making a gift from your will or trust is simple. A charitable bequest can be a specific dollar
amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after other bequests are made.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable remainder trusts appeal to donors with appreciated assets such as real estate or
securities. They allow you to receive income (or provide income to another person) for life with
the knowledge that the funds remaining when the trust terminates will be used to support our
endowment.

Life Insurance
Life insurance can be used as a charitable asset, thereby enabling you to be eligible for a
charitable tax deduction based on the current value of the paid-up policy. Or you can support
our endowment by making it the beneficiary of part or all of the insurance proceeds.

Retirement Fund Assets
Donating retirement fund assets from qualified plans or IRAs, upon your passing, are ideal for
charitable giving purposes because these assets are often heavily taxed. This option offers an
opportunity to avoid income and estate tax.

Qualified Charitable Distribution from IRA During Lifetime
For donors 70 ½ or older, annual lifetime distributions up to $100,000 directly from one’s IRA
custodian to a public charity (some exclusions apply) are easy to do and those amounts can
count toward the donor’s required minimum distribution without the donor having to claim
income.
