Ways You Can Make A Difference
Planned Giving and Endowments
Planned Gifts and Endowments are essential in the success of our programs. They allow donors to plan ahead in order to continue funding the life-changing programs at Latham Centers. We look forward to communicating with you about varied options of giving – ranging from gifts of stock to charitable gift annuities. Please contact our advancement@jdzruiran.com to learn more and finalize your Planned Giving.
Endowed gifts can be funded by a variety of giving methods. Support can be directed to a current or newly-endowed fund in which the principal is invested in perpetuity and the earned interest is used as the donor intends. Endowed gifts may be restricted or unrestricted. A gift of $10,000 or higher is necessary to establish a new, named endowed fund. Income from unrestricted, endowed gifts provides flexible, annual support. Latham Centers is responsible for the establishment, oversight, fiscal management, and stewardship of all endowed accounts. Donors receive annual reports on how their specific fund supported the initiatives they designated.
Tax-deductible gifts can be pledged over multiple years in a variety of ways, including:
- A Gift of Cash
- A Gift of Securities
- A Gift of Stocks
- A Gift of a Life Insurance Policy
- A Gift of Real Estate
- A Gift in Trust
- A Gift Through Your Will
