Your legacy gift to VisionGift will bring the world into focus for millions of patients suffering from eye disease and will help propel our research, improving transplant and eye banking practices around the world.
Here are a few simple ways you can include VisionGift in your estate plan.
Bequest
If you believe everyone has the fundamental right to see, consider including VisionGift in your will or estate plan. Giving via your estate can be as simple as including bequest language like this in your will or trust:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to VisionGift, _ percent of my estate or the sum of $_ (or stocks, bonds, property, or other assets) to support the organization’s mission.
Insurance policies and IRAs
You can support our work by giving via an insurance policy or Individual Retirement Account.
You can make VisionGift a beneficiary (or partial beneficiary) of your IRA or an insurance policy by contacting your insurance or IRA administrator.
You can also donate directly from your retirement account’s required minimum distributions.
Donor-advised funds
Donor-advised funds are a tax-advantageous way to support charitable organizations you believe in. Talk to your local community foundation or give us a call if you’d like to explore giving via a donor-advised fund.
Other ways to give
We’re happy to discuss other charitable giving options, such as gifts of stock and appreciated assets and Charitable Gift Annuities. To learn more and discuss your options for supporting the life-changing work of VisionGift, please contact Chris Stoeger at Chris@visiongift.org or (503) 808-7002
