WHAT IS PLANNED GIVING?
A gift that grows for generations to come
The Ackerman Institute for the Family is dedicated to providing the highest quality family therapy services, advancing training for professionals, and leading cutting-edge research in the field of family therapy. Your planned giving ensures that our work continues for generations.
Your generosity helps us treat families and children with ground-breaking treatment, train therapists and community organizations, and allows us to expand our outreach programs.
WAYS TO GIVE
Find the right gift for you
Stocks
Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to us. You may reduce or eliminate capital gains tax and receive a deduction for the full fair market value.
IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution
If you're 70½ or older, you can give directly from your IRA to us without paying income tax on the withdrawal, and it can count toward your required minimum distribution.
Charitable Gift Annuity
Make a gift to us in exchange for fixed, guaranteed payments for life. You'll also receive an immediate tax deduction, and whatever remains after your lifetime supports our mission.
Personal Property/
Real Estate
Donate art, real estate, or other tangible property. Many gifts qualify for an immediate income tax deduction based on the appraised value.
Bequest in your will
Leave a specific amount, percentage of your estate, or particular asset in your will or living trust.
Beneficiary Designation
Name us as a beneficiary on your retirement account, life insurance policy, or financial account.
Charitable Remainder Trust
Transfer cash or appreciated assets into a trust that pays you (or another beneficiary) income for life or a set term, with the remainder supporting our mission afterward.
Donor Advised Fund
Contribute, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants over time.
