Why choose planned giving?

It can be gratifying to know that a portion of your property will be put to good use after you no longer need it. This can include a gift from your financial assets, property, and/or naming EarthShare as a beneficiary of your IRA or qualified retirement plan. There are no limits on the amount you can bequeath to charity.

Whether you choose to leave $50 or your entire estate, your contribution will be free of estate taxes!
