Create a Better Life for All Older Adults
A163C037_191021MO (1) (1) 2

By 2040, nearly ¼ of the American population will be age 65 or older. Properly caring for an older population is a complex social challenge. Experience has shown that social challenges are best addressed through strong cross-sector partnerships, particularly partnerships that combine resources of private sector companies with the charitable cause of non-profit organizations. When businesses and non-profits collaborate, everyone wins.

Other Ways to Give

Qualified Retirement Plan Distribution
Qualified Retirement Plan Distribution

Contribute directly from your Qualified Retirement Plan with a transfer from your IRA. Contributions count for your required minimum distribution (RMD.) These contributions are made with money on which you never paid tax, so there is no tax deduction. But, they count for your RMD and the total isn’t included in your adjusted gross income. You must follow the IRS’s rules for these gifts which may also be called qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), and charitable IRA rollovers.

Donor Advised Fund
Donor Advised Fund

If you have a donor-advised fund to help you manage charitable giving you can support the ADF by directing a gift from your donor-advised fund.

Appreciated Securities
Appreciated Securities

Contributions of long-term appreciated securities give you a two-fold income tax benefit: a charitable deduction for the full present fair market value, and no tax on the appreciation. Should the securities have a loss, consider selling them first and then donating the proceeds, which allow you to recognize the loss as a deduction.

Entrance Fee Refund
Entrance Fee Refund

Contributing your entrance fee refund directly to the ADF is a simple way to benefit the Community you call home. For individuals making an entrance fee refund agreement, there may be significant tax planning advantages. There are no out-of-pocket expense to create the gift.

Bequest In Will
Bequest In Will

Simply put, a bequest is a gift made through your Will. You may include a bequest when you have a new Will prepared or add a codicil to your existing Will. Either way, it is a simple method for including Army Distaff Foundation in your estate plans.

Real Estate
Life Insurance

Make a gift of real estate to the Army Distaff Foundation and avoid capital gains tax. Receive an income tax deduction and enjoy the option of a gift that doesn’t affect your lifestyle.

Charitable Gift Annuity
Charitable Gift Annuity

Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) combine an estate gift to Army Distaff Foundation and an annuity. Charitable gift annuities may benefit one or two annuitants. Typically, they are spouses or siblings, but may include friends, parents and children or other age-qualified persons. Most CGA donors select immediate income distribution plans. If you prefer, you may defer the income payments for a year or more to better fit your personal income requirements. Part of each CGA payment will be tax-free return of principal. So annuitants receive income which is a combination of taxable and tax-free income, as well as an initial charitable deduction.

Charitable Lead Trust
Charitable Lead Trust

A Charitable Lead Trust is an irrevocable trust designed to provide charitable financial support for a fixed time period. At the end of the designated time, the remaining assets are passed to family members or other beneficiaries. Charitable lead trusts are often considered to be the inverse of a charitable remainder trust. A Charitable Lead Trust may reduce gift and estate taxes and control the timing of passing assets to your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, or other heirs.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trusts

A Charitable Remainder Trust is a Planned Giving vehicle that allows a donor to place an irrevocable major gift of cash or property into a trust. The trust then pays a fixed amount of income each year for a specified period of time to the donor or the donor's specified beneficiary after which the remainder of the trust passes to the designated charity. 

Life Insurance
Life Insurance

Create a new life insurance policy or donate a paid-up policy you no longer need. A gift of a life insurance policy does not reduce your income, and you may receive significant income tax reductions. There are several options for making such a gift. This may increase your ability to make a significant gift to Army Distaff Foundation.

Real Estate
Life Insurance

Make a gift of real estate to the Army Distaff Foundation and avoid capital gains tax. Receive an income tax deduction and enjoy the option of a gift that doesn’t affect your lifestyle.
