Planned Gifts
There are a variety of ways to be philanthropic. While most friends donate liquid assets such as cash, a planned gift through your estate may better serve your needs.
Your estate includes all your assets—your home(s), business, automobile(s), jewelry, family heirlooms, artwork, checking and savings accounts, stocks and other investments. If you do not plan wisely for their final distribution, there can be unnecessary federal, state and property taxes to pay.
Make the effort to plan ahead. You will maximize benefits to your family and the organizations you care about most. Plus you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing everything is in order and that you leave behind a legacy.
A planned gift can be a bequest through your will or gifts that pay you an income. A simple way to make a gift to CCARC in your will is to add a codicil or amendment to it.
If you do not have a will, or your will is out of date, we suggest you seek the assistance of an attorney who can help you evaluate your needs and draft one.
If you want to include CCARC in your will, please give your attorney the correct bequest language to ensure your wishes are carried out.
A bequest to CCARC is an appropriate way to recognize the value of the work we do. Contact us to learn more.
All estate gifts are put into the CCARC Foundation, Inc. Endowment Fund, a permanently-restricted fund from which only the income is used for general operating purposes. This allows the principal to grow and provides financial security against fluctuations in other sources of funding.
