Planned Gifts
Your will or estate plan reflects your values and goals. Many people include a charity as a part of their will or trust, believing that giving back to others improves our world. One of the easiest planned gifts to make is to leave a portion of your estate to an organization you care about. You can help Dismas Home with a gift through your will or trust by naming the Dismas Home of New Hampshire as a beneficiary of an IRA, charitable gift annuity, life insurance policy, or other asset. A generous gift will cost you nothing during your lifetime. Still, a gift of just 1% of your total estate could significantly impact the lives of justice-involved women in the future.
Here are several ways to make a planned gift: Bequests: The simplest way to include Dismas Home in a bequest is to ask your estate planning professional to add the following language to your will: “I give to Dismas Home of New Hampshire, ____percentage of my estate (or the sum of $____) for its general uses and purposes.”
Retirement plan assets
Charitable gift annuities
Real estate
IRA distribution
Stocks or mutual funds
Retirement plan assets
Most retirement plan assets, such as IRAs and 401(k)s, are subject to taxation when passed to heirs — but up to 100% of your retirement plan assets can be transferred to Dismas Home free of all taxes. To name us as the beneficiary, consult with your adviser, then instruct the plan administrator of your decision and complete a change of beneficiary form.
Charitable gift annuities
A charitable gift annuity is a contract between you and Dismas Home where you make an initial donation and then receive a lifetime of payments in return. Upon making your donation, you can also take advantage of a charitable tax deduction.
Real estate
Making an outright or partial gift of real estate is a great way to support Dismas Home. You’ll incur no tax liability on the transfer and get a tax deduction based on the property’s fair market value.
IRA distribution
If you’re over 70 and a half and are taking a required minimum distribution from your IRA, you can direct all or part of that distribution to Dismas Home (up to $100,000).
Stocks or mutual funds
Do you have investments that have been appreciated? Consider gifting them to Dismas Home to maximize your impact and tax benefit.
When you give an investment that’s appreciated, you get to deduct the fair market value of that security as a charitable gift — avoiding the capital gains tax of a sale. In other words, you’ll make a more significant impact by donating the investment directly (instead of donating the cash earnings of a sale).
