Planned Giving

There are many planned giving options that allow you to make charitable gifts, continue to meet your income needs and take advantage of current tax incentives. There are several ways to leave a planned gift to DuPagePads.

• Bequest— You can provide a future gift to DuPagePads by including a bequest provision in your will to leave a specified amount from or a percentage of your estate.
• Gifts of Appreciated Securities— Shares of stock or mutual funds can be gifted to DuPagePads and sold without incurring taxes.
• Charitable Gift Annuity— The Gift that Gives Back Guaranteed Income— You can transfer cash or securities to DuPagePads, and DuPagePads will pay specified amounts over a designated period of time to specified individuals. The principal passes to DuPagePads when the contract ends.
