A bequest from either a will or living trust lets you pass any amount you wish to a valued charitable organization free of estate tax.

You can give cash, specific property, or a percentage of your estate.

A living trust can be an effective way to maintain control of property during your lifetime—and a private way to release it after your death.

Most retirement plan assets face double taxation. Not only is the amount diminished by estate taxes, but the recipient also must pay income taxes on it. Avoid federal income and estate taxes by naming NPSF a beneficiary.

If you are thinking about a contribution to NPSF, a gift of your life insurance could be a sensible, and generous course of action. You will receive an estate tax deduction for the insurance proceeds if you name NPSF the beneficiary of the policy. You can also use life insurance to replace the value of a different gift.

The concept of a gift annuity is simple. You donate assets that the NPS Alumni Association and Foundation invests. The NPSAAF agrees to make fixed payments to you for life (and, if desired, for another beneficiary’s lifetime). At the end of the agreement, the funds are available for our use.
