Start today in 4 easy steps!1. Make sure you have an up to date will (or living trust) that reflects your charitable objectives. Without these documents, you surrender control of your property and assets to the courts. 2. Make your favorite charity a beneficiary of your life insurance, pension plan or IRA. 3. Think beyond cash — you can leave stocks, real estate, insurance policies and other property to charitable organizations. 4. Contact your financial advisor (a financial planner, lawyer or accountant) and ask for help in establishing a charitable gift. |
