Leaving all or part of your retirement plan to the Young Leadership Council allows you to support our efforts while reducing your tax burden.

Make a tax-savvy gift directly from your IRA—known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)—to satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while lowering your taxable income.

You can also name YLC as a beneficiary of your Qualified Retirement Plan to secure your legacy and receive an estate tax charitable deduction.

This form of giving can help you create a lasting legacy while offering meaningful tax advantages. 

Make a significant impact at a relatively modest cost. There are several ways to make a charitable gift through your life insurance: 

Name YLC as a primary or contingent beneficiary of your life insurance policy. 

Donate an existing policy that you no longer need and receive an immediate charitable income tax deduction. 

Purchase a new policy and designate YLC as the owner or beneficiary to create a lasting gift. 

There are several financial vehicles that can provide income for you or a loved one during your lifetime, creating significant tax deductions while providing critical resources to YLC. Deciding what vehicle to use will depend on your personal needs and financial objectives.

These include charitable remainder unitrusts and charitable remainder annuity trusts, as well as charitable lead trusts and charitable gift annuities. Please consult your financial adviser about the appropriateness of these planning tools.

Please get in touch with us for wire transfer information.

Including YLC in your estate plans ensures that your impact will make a lasting difference. We can share bequest language for you and your estate planner. Afterward, you can document your non-binding bequest intention with us. We want to celebrate your incredible legacy gift in life!

By making a planned or estate gift to YLC, you will create a lasting legacy for generations to come.

A Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) allows you to support YLC while also receiving secure, fixed income payments for life. With a CGA, you make a gift of cash or securities to YLC, and in return, you and/or a loved one receive dependable income at attractive rates—often higher than traditional investments.
