When you make a planned gift to a charitable organization like the Rogers Public Library Foundation, you create a permanent legacy that will benefit your community for generations to come. A charitable bequest is one way you can guarantee continued excellence in our Library's facilities, collections and programming. It also will help you meet your own financial and personal objectives. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to:
Wills and Living Trusts
Charitable bequests are made through wills or revocable living trusts and are a popular way to support an organization. Bequests are simple to arrange, offer flexibility, and can reduce estate taxes.
Life Income Plans
There are a number of ways to donate cash, securities, or other property and arrange lifetime payments for yourself or loved ones. Benefits include a current income tax deduction, as well as other possible tax advantages.
Retirement Plan Assets
In many cases, donating some or all of the assets from your IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan is a smart option. Gifts can be made during your lifetime or upon death.
Other Planned Gift Options
The Foundation welcomes contributions of a variety of types of assets such as securities, life insurance, U.S. savings bonds, annuity contracts, tangible personal property, and works of art. In addition, gifts can be structured in many different ways.
