The simplest way to make a planned gift is to name Madison Community Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement plan.
When retirement assets pass to your heirs, they can be subject to both estate and income taxes. As a result, many donors elect to designate Madison Community Foundation as the beneficiary of their IRAs, 401(k)s or 403(b)s.
You have an IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or other tax-deferred retirement plan.
Your loved ones are provided for by other means.
You want the flexibility to change your gift at any time.
When making your beneficiary designation, use the following - Legal Name: Madison Community Foundation, Tax ID: 39-6038248
A bequest is a way to include specific language in your will naming Madison Community Foundation as the recipient of a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the residual assets after other bequests are satisfied.
When making your beneficiary designation, please use the following legal name and Tax Identification Number: Madison Community Foundation / Tax ID: 39-6038248
Donors may use this sample language when including Madison Community Foundation in your will or estate plans.
Life insurance is one of the easiest ways to leave a legacy. If the policy premiums are complete, simply name Madison Community Foundation as beneficiary. If premium payments are needed, you may assign your insurance policy to MCF and continue to make annual, tax-deductible contributions to cover the premium.
A charitable gift annuity allows you to make a tax-deductible gift today and receive a guaranteed income for your lifetime and the lifetime of another, if you choose. Annuity payments may begin now or be deferred. The older the donor, the more favorable the annuity payment. CGA donors receive significant tax benefits, including an immediate charitable tax deduction for a portion of the gift amount, and a portion of each income payment is considered a tax-free return of principal.
You are at least 60 years old.
You want the security of fixed, dependable payments for life.
You would like an immediate charitable deduction and partially tax-free income.
You are considering a gift of $10,000 or more.
