Bequests
A bequest is a
testamentary gift made to Desert AIDS Project
through a Will. Bequests can take a variety
of forms – a specific sum amount, a
percentage of an estate or a certain piece
of property. Donors can designate Desert
AIDS Project to be a “residuary beneficiary” of
all or part of their estate after other bequests
or as a “contingent beneficiary” in
the event other named beneficiaries do not
outlive the donor. |
Life income
gifts
Life income gifts allow you to leave a
gift to Desert AIDS Project while still
receiving income for yourself and/or a
spouse or other loved one. Life income
gifts are an excellent way for you to support
Desert AIDS Project while maintaining your
financial security. You’ll receive
even more tax savings if you use appreciated
property, like stocks, to fund a gift annuity. Life
income gifts include:
- Charitable gift annuities
Gifts that give you lifetime income tax
benefits.
- Deferred charitable gift annuities
Gifts
to help you plan supplemental retirement
income.
- Charitable remainder trusts
Gifts that allow you to select your rate
of return and receive fixed or variable
lifetime income.
- Pooled income funds
Gifts that provide variable lifetime income
and professional asset management.

Life
insurance gifts
The easiest way to make a gift of your
life insurance policy is to name Desert
AIDS Project as a beneficiary.
If
your policy is paid for or not and you
name Desert AIDS Project as owner and beneficiary,
you could be eligible for a charitable
deduction.
Appreciated property gifts and
other property
A gift of real estate, stocks or bonds which
has been held for more than a year could
have considerable tax savings for you.
Selected artwork, books and antiques can
also be used, in certain situations, as
planned gifts. |
