Leave a Legacy
Planned giving options offer donors unique and meaningful ways to support Creature Comfort today while leaving a legacy for future generations.
Bequests
A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an advisor, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends or Creature Comfort as part of your estate plan. Many people find they can make a more generous gift through a will bequest than they can comfortably during their lifetime.
What are the benefits of making a bequest?
- You leave a lasting legacy to be remembered.
- You lessen the burden of taxes on your family.
- You may receive estate tax savings.
A bequest can be made in several ways:
- You can gift a specific dollar amount or asset.
- You can gift a percentage of your estate.
- You can gift from the balance or residue of your estate.
- You can make a beneficiary designation of certain assets.
Donor Advised Fund
With a donor advised fund, you can make gifts during your lifetime and, when you pass away, your children can carry on your legacy of giving.
What are the benefits
- Establish a flexible vehicle for annual charitable giving.
- Benefit from a more tax and cost efficient alternative to a private foundation.
- Obtain a charitable income tax deduction in the year of your gift.
How a donor advised fund works:
- You make an initial, irrevocable gift of cash or stock to fund a DAF at a sponsoring organization.
- The assets in your DAF grow tax-free.
- You make annual recommendations on gifts to be made from your DAF.
