WAYS TO GIVE

There are many ways to support the Limb Preservation Foundation with an estate gift, options that help you balance planning for family and loved ones with a chance to help those facing limb-threatening conditions. The following provides a brief introduction:

Charitable Bequest

By including us in your Will or Living Trust, you create a gift today that we will receive only when your estate is settled.

Life Insurance

You can name us as the beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy.  To create your gift, simply request a “beneficiary change” form from your life insurance company, complete the form, and return it according to the instructions provided. Many companies make beneficiary change forms available online.

Charitable Remainder Trust

In the right situations, a charitable remainder trust can provide powerful financial, tax, and estate planning benefits.  You donate assets into trust for the eventual benefit of the Limb Preservation Foundation.  In the interim, the trust pays an income to you and/or your designated income beneficiaries. 

Charitable Lead Trust

 A charitable lead trust can provide support for the Limb Preservation Foundation, while transferring assets in the future to your heirs with little or no gift or estate tax. 

Retained Life Estate

You can donate the future ownership of a residence to the Limb Preservation Foundation, while still retaining the right to live there for the rest of your life.

IRA or Retirement Plan

You can name the Limb Preservation Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA or workplace retirement plan.  To create a gift, simply request a “beneficiary change” form from your IRA custodian or human resources department, complete the form, and return it according to the instructions.  Beneficiary change forms are often available online.

For more information about any of these options, please contact Marcy Rubic, Executive Director, at marcy@limbpreservation.org or (303) 429-0688.  All inquiries are received in confidence.  There is never an obligation to complete any gift.
