A LEGACY GIFT IS MORE THAN A DONATION. PLANNING AN ESTATE GIFT IS A BEAUTIFUL STATEMENT OF TRUST AND APPRECIATION FOR THE FUTURE OF ASCEND’S PROGRAMS. 

Donating to Ascend in your will, trust, or insurance will bolster the sustainability and longevity of our organization for generations. For more information on how to plan a gift, please contact Ascend:

What is a Planned Gift?

A planned gift is an impactful deferred gift made after considerable thought on the part of the
donor and his or her family. Types of legacy gifts include: 

  • Marketable securities
  • Real estate
  • Life insurance
  • Charitable Remainder Trusts
  • Charitable Giving Annuities
  • Charitable Lead Trusts
  • Charitable Bequests

Why make a Planned Gift?

Aside from certain financial benefits, a planned gift is a profound way to leave a legacy or create a memorial. Often legacy gifts create deep meaning for the donor and leave a generation-long memory of their passion for the arts. Though benefits may vary, some that would accrue to you in this lifetime might take the form of:

  • An immediate federal income tax deduction for some or all the value of the gift.
  • Elimination of capital gains tax at the time of the transfer if the asset is in the form of securities or real estate that has appreciated in value – Marketable Securities
