LEGACY SOCIETY – PLANNED GIVING
Planned gifts provide for Dance for PD’s future while creating a lasting and meaningful legacy for you and your loved ones. When you name Discalced Inc. (the Mark Morris Dance Group’s legal 501c3 name) and the Dance for PD program in estate plans through bequests, gift annuities, charitable trusts, and beneficiary designations, you will automatically become a part of our Legacy Society. Your gift may have valuable tax benefits to you.
How does it work?
Planned gifts are determined in the present day and granted at a later date, often providing benefits to the donor such as reduced income and estate taxes. Planned gifts can be made to Discalced, Inc. (our legal nonprofit name) and ear-marked for Dance for PD through IRA Charitable Rollovers, Bequests, Donor-Advised Funds, and Life Insurance and Retirement Plans. All funds will be used for annual programs unless otherwise designated toward a specific use.
Bequests can be made to through a living trust or will. This type of planned gift can be assigned a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your total estate. Discalced, Inc. and Dance for PD can also be designated as a contingent beneficiary should other beneficiaries predecease the donor. Bequests often significantly reduce the sum of your taxable estate.
Life Insurance and Retirement Plans are other vehicles through which donors can support Dance for PD. Life Insurance policies can be donated as tax-deductible gifts, with premiums still being paid on donated policies considered tax-deductible contributions as well. Assets from Retirement Plans such as IRAs, 401Ks, and 403Bs can also be given to Discalced Inc. (ear-marked for Dance for PD) as charitable gifts at significantly reduced taxation rates.
