Planned Giving?
Planned Giving
Individuals who want to support Autism Speaks but who are not in
a position to contribute a major gift today can nonetheless participate in the
Major Gifts Program through a bequest or planned gift.
Sometimes called a deferred gift, these vehicles express
a commitment to contribute at a future date.
Bequests
The most common form of planned gift is a bequest. Simply
list Autism Speaks as a beneficiary in your will for a fixed amount of money or
a percentage of your estate.
Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT)
A CRT provides the donor or designated beneficiaries with
a stream of income for the donor's lifetime or term of years. After the trust
terminates, the accumulated principal, or "remainder," goes to Autism
Speaks.
The trust itself is tax-exempt, so appreciated assets,
such as stock, can be put in the trust and sold without incurring capital gains
tax. An immediate income tax deduction is received on a substantial portion of
the value of the trust.
A charitable remainder unitrust pays an annual percentage
rate of return, so the payout will vary depending on the principal in the trust
at the end of each year. A charitable remainder annuity trust pays a fixed
annual amount regardless of the principal in the trust.
Charitable Lead Trust
A charitable lead trust provides for a gift of payment
from assets for a term of years-- and then the property passes to the
individuals you designate.
IRA Rollover
The Pension Protection Act provides that IRA owners age 70
½ or older may donate all or a portion of their IRA, up to $100,000, and avoid
income taxes that would ordinarily incur with normal distribution. The rule was
extended by Congress through at least the end of 2010. The transfer must be
made directly from the IRA to Autism Speaks.
Life Insurance
You can name Autism Speaks as the primary beneficiary or
successor beneficiary of a life insurance policy. When proceeds are paid to us,
your estate will be granted a charitable estate-tax deduction.
Planned Giving
Planned gifts offer donors the opportunity to gain the
satisfaction of supporting Autism Speaks and receiving certain benefits while
deferring their gift until a future date. For example, including Autism Speaks
as a beneficiary in your will is the most common form of planned gift. Other
planned gifts, such as charitable trusts, provide income for life and tax
benefits.

people who don't do anything about it.
