"Over 20 years ago while working and traveling in India, I saw firsthand the social, economic, and political problems that result from unintended pregnancies. I’m passionate about the work of Planned Parenthood because it helps empower women so they can make informed decisions and improve their children’s lives. I established a charitable remainder trust to provide for my loved ones and leave a legacy for Planned Parenthood so it can help future generations. Everyone wins!" — T.C. |
If you are interested in making a significant gift to Planned Parenthood that will provide benefits to you during your lifetime and leave a legacy for the future of family planning, a charitable remainder trust may meet your objectives. Charitable remainder trusts can be customized to meet your personal and family needs, particularly if you want to provide for a friend or family member during or after your life.
To establish a trust in the Planned Parenthood Charitable Remainder Trust Program, you would make an irrevocable gift of $100,000 or more for a distinct trust fund in your name. You would qualify for an income tax charitable deduction. If you make your gift with appreciated securities, you avoid the capital gains tax on long-term appreciation. Trusts can be set up to provide a fixed payment amount each year or a fixed percentage, with variable payments each year.
