Planned giving is a term used to include a wide variety of ways in which individuals can make contributions to a nonprofit of their choice in financial or estate planning. Typically these gifts are distributed once the donor passes away, but may also take place during their lifetime.

Planned giving can include naming the organization as a beneficiary of all or part of an IRA, insurance policy, or retirement plan. It may list the organization in a will or trust, or be part of a living legacy through donations from a IRA qualified charitable contribution.

Legacy giving is becoming an important part of financial and estate planning for people of all ages.  If you would like to learn more about how you might support the Grunewald Guild through non-cash gifts, we would encourage you to explore Freewill.org or the CFNCW Planned Giving webpage.  Your personal lawyer or financial advisor may be able to provide assistance.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
