Planned Gifts / Charitable Trusts

Each donation dedicated to fulfilling the Institute's mission and vision takes us one step closer to making a real and lasting difference in the battle against disease. The Institute engages this battle by sponsoring vital research seeking methods of early detection, disease prevention, and cures.

Legacy contributions enable individuals to make a lasting impact. Naming the Institute as beneficiary in a Charitable Trust, Insurance Policy, IRA/Retirement Plan, Will, or Living Trust are just some of the ways of leaving a Legacy. Establishing a Foundation at the Institute is another.

The rewards of creative giving can include:

• Income tax deductions
• Avoidance of long-term capital gains
• Increased income and effective rate of return
• Reduced estate and gift taxes
• Making a lasting difference for you and your family
