Leaving a Legacy
When you designate a planned gift to Center for Conflict Resolution, you join a community of thoughtful supporters leaving a legacy of hope, care, and generosity for the future of the organization. A planned gift to Center for Conflict Resolution allows you to create a legacy for the community as you support our conflict resolution services There are several ways to make a planned gift.
The following forms of planned gifts may be established with your financial advisor or trust attorney.
Wills & Trusts
Charitable bequests made through wills or revocable living trusts are a popular way to support Center for Conflict Resolution. Bequests are simple to arrange, offer flexibility, and can reduce estate taxes.
Retirement Plan Assets
In many cases, donating some or all of the assets from an IRA, 401(k), or other qualified retirement plan, is a smart option. Gifts can be made during your lifetime or through your estate.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
Thankfully, charitably-minded individuals and couples age 70½ and older have a tax-smart strategy called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), also known as a charitable IRA rollover. The QCD allows a donor to instruct an IRA1 administrator to send up to $100,000 per year—all or part of the annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) — to one or more operating charities.
Couples who submit tax returns with married filing jointly status each qualify for annual QCDs of up to $100,000, for a potential total of $200,000. Starting in 2023, donors can also direct a one-time, $50,000 QCD to a charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity. Please confer with your tax advisor on these and other planned giving benefits.
