Planned Giving
Create a Plan to Help Children and Families
Many of our supporters choose to support our future through planned gifts. Unlike cash donations, planned gifts are typically made from assets in your estate rather than from disposable income, and may come to fruition after your lifetime. Even people of modest means can make a difference in the lives of children by planning a gift.
Uncover the giving option that works best for your goals:
- Bequest (Bequests are gifts that are made as part of a will or trust. A bequest can be to a person, or it can be a charitable bequest to a nonprofit organization, trust or foundation. Anyone can make a bequest—in any amount—to an individual or charity
- Non-cash Asset
- Retirement plans (IRAs, 401k plans)
- Life insurance Real Property (A house, boat, land, vehicles, etc.)
- Real Property (A house, boat, land, vehicles, etc.)
- Charitable gift annuity (pays you, each year, the same dollar amount you choose at the start. Your payments stay the same, regardless of fluctuations in trust investments.
- Charitable Remainder Trust (This type of trust provides you or other named individuals income each year for life or a period not exceeding 20 years from assets you give to the trust you create. At the end of the trust term, the balance in the trust goes to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest).
- Charitable Remainder Unitrust (pays you, each year, a variable amount based on a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust assets. The amount of your payments is redetermined annually. If the value of the trust increases, so do your payments. If the value decreases, however, so will your payments.)
Charitable Lead Trust (You transfer cash or other assets to a trust that makes payments to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Inland Northwest for a period of time. When the term is up, the remaining trust passes to your family or other beneficiaries you select.There are two ways that charitable lead trusts make payments to RMHC INW:
- A charitable lead annuity trust pays a fixed amount each year to RMHC INW and is more attractive when interest rates are low.
- A charitable lead unitrust pays a variable amount each year to RMHC INW based on the value of the assets in the trust. With a unitrust, if the trust’s assets go up in value, for example, the payments to RMHC INW go up as well.)
