Your planned gift will give NCSI a tool to build long-term financial stability and help us meet challenges both today and in the future. Here are some of the ways to make a planned gift to NCSI.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

One of the easiest ways to support NCSI is by making NCSI a beneficiary of all or a percentage of your life insurance, IRA, 401(k), or other retirement plan. The funds passing under a beneficiary designation are distributed directly to NCSI, outside of the probate process.

WILL OR ESTATE PLAN

Your gift through your will or revocable trust will help NCSI ensure that the needs of the people we serve will continue to be met in the future. Contact your attorney or financial advisor for assistance in determining how to make the appropriate gift.

Here are some examples of how to specify a gift to NCSI in your Will or Trust document (consult with your attorney to ensure the language properly fits your documents):

Sample Bequest of All or a Portion of Remainder of Estate

“I give to Northeast Contemporary Services, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation, all [or state the fraction or percentage] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate.”

Sample Bequest of Specified Amount – “I give [$]_____ or [%]_____ to Northeast Contemporary Services, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit corporation.”

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. An increasingly popular charitable vehicle, DAFs are an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your philanthropic goals. Here’s how it works:

• Give: Make a tax-deductible donation to a public charity that sponsors a DAF program;

• Grow: Advise the investment allocation of the donated assets (any investment growth is tax-free);

• Grant: Recommend grants to qualified charities of your choice like NCSI.
