Make a Donation in Just a Few Simple Steps
Not everyone wants to commit to a gift in their will or estate. Some prefer the added flexibility that comes with a beneficiary designation.
Not everyone is ready to commit to a gift in their will or estate. Some prefer the added flexibility of a beneficiary designation, which can be applied to:
- IRAs and retirement plans
- Life insurance policies
- Donor advised funds
- Commercial annuities
Naming Autism Life and Living as a beneficiary is simple. Just request a change-of-beneficiary form from your policy administrator or download it from your provider’s website. After making the necessary updates, return the form to finalize your gift.
An Example of How It Works
John and Lauren have always been proud of the financial support they’ve provided to their children and ALL throughout the years. Recently, they updated their will, leaving stocks and real estate to their children, while designating ALL as the beneficiary of a $75,000 IRA to be transferred after their passing. Because ALL is tax-exempt, the entire $75,000 will go directly toward furthering our mission.
Had they chosen to leave the IRA to their children, approximately $18,000* would have been deducted for federal income taxes, leaving just $57,000 for their family. Robert and Carol are reassured that their updated estate plan ensures their assets will be used in the most efficient way, benefiting both their loved ones and our work.
*Based on an assumption of a 24% marginal income tax bracket.
