​Bequests: A Lasting Legacy

We deeply appreciate the foresight of those who designate a bequest to Aging Care Connections in their wills, or families who request donations to benefit Aging Care Connections be made at the time of memorial services. There are many vehicles for achieving goals to benefit Aging Care Connections which may be helpful to the donor as well. With the consultation of professional advisors including attorneys, certified public accountants or trust officers, donors are able to accomplish the following:

• Establish an endowed trust;
• Produce a stream of income through a life income gift program;
• Reduce federal estate taxes;
• Obtain a charitable tax deduction;
• Avoid or reduce capital gains taxes on transfers of appreciated property.

​
The gift may be funded through a variety of assets including cash, securities (such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or closely held securities), real estate (such as a personal residence, commercial property, or vacant land), and tangible personal property (such as art, antiques, jewelry, or collectibles). In addition, the gift may be made in the form of a current gift or a gift through your estate.
​
Thank you for considering a lasting legacy to benefit Aging Care Connections.
