Create Your Legacy

Your planned gift to STAGES provides a way to complete a lifetime of giving or to make a significant gift that might not be possible during your lifetime. Assets passing from retirement plans to qualified not-for-profit organizations like STAGES are entirely remove from your taxable estate, potentially saving thousands of dollars in taxes.

We also realize that circumstances change and your gift to us may no longer be possible at a future date. Your family and friends come first, and that’s why a bequest in a will works for so many.

How To Give

The best choice will balance what you wish to accomplish for yourself and your charitable interests in your overall estate and financial plans. Please consult your financial advisor to determine the full extent of your potential benefits. Options include:

• Make a bequest in your will
• Establish a trust that provides a present or future contribution
• Name STAGES as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or proceeds remaining in a retirement plan

STAGES would love to be aware of your planned gift intentions. So that we can properly acknowledge your gift (or maintain your anonymity) kindly let us know of our inclusion in your estate.
