Giving
in the future:
Giving to the
AANEM Foundation in your will or through a living trust allows you is
a benefit to you and the Foundation. Giving to the Foundation could help
reduce estate taxes. Through provisions in your will, for example, you
can create an endowment to fund a specific AANEM program in perpetuity
or create a lectureship in your name. Significant tax advantages can be
realized through planned gifts.
In addition,
you may name the AANEM Foundation as the beneficiary of your retirement
plan. You'll retain the income benefits during your lifetime, and after
your death, the AANEM Foundation benefits according to your wishes. Again,
this may benefit your estate in the form of income and estate tax reductions. |
