The League offers ideas and arrangements through which individuals can provide for the League in their financial and estate plans. By tailoring gift ideas to an individual's financial situation, we often enable them to make gifts of greater significance than might otherwise have been possible and to better achieve personal financial goals in the process. One of the simplest ways to make a gift to the League is through your will. Bequests can take the form of cash, securities, life insurance, land or buildings.
Bequests are free from federal estate tax, offering potential estate tax savings.

This type of arrangement can pay income for life to you or a loved one. Trusts are available that enable you to receive either a set dollar amount of annual income or a fixed percent of the value of the trust assets, determined annually. Giving a life insurance policy is a way to donate a large sum at relatively little cost to you.
