Planned Giving
What is a planned gift? The term "planned giving" refers to charitable gifts that require more thought and planning than the typical charitable contribution. Planned gifts are popular because they can provide valuable tax benefits and/or income for life while helping to advance the mission of Perkins.
A planned gift can help you create income for:
You may choose to donate the following assets:
- Cash
- Appreciated Securities
- Real Estate
- Existing Retirement Funds and/or Life Insurance
- Existing Life Income Gift
- Artwork and other items
Choosing to make a planned gift entitles you to membership in the Thomas H. Perkins Legacy Society which recognizes individuals who have created a legacy for Perkins School for the Blind.
