Planned Giving
Your support plays a crucial role in MADRE's development. Through our planned giving program you can receive additional benefits, such as lifetime income and tax benefits. For example, you can make a gift now and receive income for life, donate an insurance policy to MADRE and enjoy tax-deductible premium payments, or donate appreciated securities and become exempt from paying taxes on the capital gains. We can discuss any of these options in detail with you and your financial planner.
- Donate Stock or Other Securities. You may claim a tax deduction for the full market value of appreciated stock, bonds, and other securities or property that you have held for over a year. Contact us to make arrangements to contribute securities. Click here for more information.
- Make a Gift by Bequest. Consider naming MADRE in your will. You can make a bequest in several ways: you can specify that MADRE receive a one-time, fixed dollar amount or a percentage of your estate or that, after other beneficiaries are given fixed amounts, MADRE receive your remaining assets. Contact us to confirm the information you will need when preparing your will.
- Other Ways to Give. Options include contributing a life insurance policy, establishing a charitable trust or a charitable gift annuity (minimum $25,000), donating art or real estate, making MADRE the beneficiary of your individual retirement account (IRA), creating a pooled income fund, or taking advantage of the sale of a company.
