More Ways to Make an Impact
Gifts in a Will or Trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary Designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts That Pay You Back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
