Making a gift through your will is one of the easiest ways to support Scholarship America. You can give a percentage, specific amount, or remainder of your estate in your will. Contact us for legal bequest language that you can use with your advisors.
Donating appreciated assets, like stocks and bonds, is a tax-effective way to make a gift. Making a transfer from your financial management firm allows Scholarship America to receive an immediate cash gift and you can potentially avoid capital gains tax on appreciated accounts.
There are several options to make charitable gifts with an insurance policy. You can name Scholarship America as a policy beneficiary or we can partner with you to transfer management of the account. Contact us to find the giving opportunity that works best for you.
By naming Scholarship America as the beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement account, you help further our mission while avoiding significant income or estate taxes for your heirs. You can also make a charitable gift of your Required Minimum Distribution once you reach the age of 70.5.
A charitable gift annuity guarantees lifetime income for a donor in exchange for an upfront transfer of assets. Upon the annuitant’s passing, the remainder of the annuity is gifted to Scholarship America. A CGA is a great tool for donors who want to impact student success while maintaining stable cash flow for themselves or a loved one.
