PLANNED GIVING TOOLKIT
Leave10.org has created a comprehensive guide to setting up a Planned Giving program. This toolkit is provided free of charge. Working through the Toolkit may feel overwhelming but we’re here to help! Please reach out to one of our mentors (listed above) with questions.
DISCLAIMER:
Leave 10 South Sound has provided documents in this toolkit as examples for nonprofit organizations to use and modify for their own organizations.
Please bear in mind that in providing this information, Leave 10 South Sound is not giving professional tax or legal advice. Donors still need to consult their professional legal and tax advisors about the consequences of any gift in their particular situation. We also encourage donors to discuss their philanthropic plans with their family members as appropriate so that they may participate in the decision-making and understand the objectives of donors’ estate giving plans.
Leave 10 South Sound aims to build stronger communities and transform as many people as possible into philanthropists by educating, inspiring, and encouraging individuals to aspire to leave at least 10% of their estates to charity.
