Please consult with your financial advisor to determine the option that best supports your philanthropic goals. 

Bequests
A bequest is a simple, flexible, and impactful way to leave a lasting legacy. Through your will or living trust, you can allocate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a particular asset such as stocks or real estate. 

Consider including the ISTH in your will or trust. 

Appreciated Stock
Donating appreciated stock is a tax-efficient way to give. You avoid paying capital gains tax and can receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the stock, all while supporting a cause that matters to you. Consider donating appreciated stock to the ISTH and help fund the next generation of scientists and healthcare providers. 

Beneficiary Designations
Beneficiary Designations is a simple way to give through your financial accounts. You can name or designate your favorite charity as a beneficiary of various accounts or policies, including your 401(k), IRA, pension plan, or life insurance policy. 

This is a flexible, easy, and revocable option that allows you to continue supporting the work that you love, even after your lifetime.

Charitable Remainder Trusts 
A Charitable Remainder Trust allows you to donate assets while still receiving income for yourself or your loved ones. You’ll benefit from potential tax savings, and after the trust term ends, the remaining assets will support the groundbreaking work at the ISTH. 

Charitable Lead Trusts 
With a Charitable Lead Trust, you can provide income to the ISTH for a specific term, after which the remaining trust assets go to your heirs. This is a smart way to reduce the taxable value of your estate while contributing to an important cause during your lifetime. 

Donor-Advised Funds 
Simplify your giving with a Donor-Advised Fund, which allows you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to the ISTH over time. You can even name the ISTH as the beneficiary of the remaining funds after your lifetime, ensuring your charitable intentions continue to make a difference.

Life Insurance Policies
If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need, you can donate it by transferring ownership to the ISTH or by naming the ISTH as a beneficiary. If the charity becomes the policy owner, your premium payments may become tax-deductible.

This can result in a charitable tax deduction and ensure your legacy supports life-saving training, education and research.
