Bequests:
Bequests are an easy and popular way to leave money for a charitable organization. You may use the following language to name the FWA of New York Educational Fund as a beneficiary in your will:
“I bequeath to the FWA of New York Educational Fund (tax ID number 13-3092258), a nonprofit corporation of the State of New York, having its principal offices at 215 Park Avenue South, Suite 1712, New York, NY 10003, the sum of $______ (or otherwise describe the gift or specify a percentage of the estate) to be used by said corporation for its general purpose.”
It is best to seek legal counsel for further questions about bequests.
Life Insurance:
Life insurance policies are often overlooked as assets and means of charitable support. There are two ways to donate life insurance:
- Make the FWA of New York Educational Fund the owner and beneficiary of a new or existing policy that is fully paid-up. The value of the policy is determined by IRS rules.
- Make the FWA of New York Educational Fund the beneficiary, but not the owner, of a new or existing policy.
Beneficiary Designations:
Naming a charitable organization a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k) or other retirement plan provides tax advantages to an estate.
