FUTURE GIFTS OPPORTUNITIES

Bequests (Wills or Trusts)

Leave a gift to the ISM in your will or estate plan. This distribution will be fully deductible for federal estate tax purposes. There is no limit on the deduction your estate can claim. Moreover, the gift is usually exempt from state inheritance taxes.

Revocable Living Trust

A revocable living trust defines how your assets are to be distributed at the end of your lifetime. Retain control of the assets during your life, and can amend or change the trust at any time. Income earned by the trust’s assets goes to you and is taxable, but the assets themselves do not transfer from the trust to the ISM and other beneficiaries until the end of your lifetime. Once your assets belong to the trust, they do not have to go through the probate process upon your death.

Life Insurance

Name the ISM as the new beneficiary, make a gift through an existing policy, or make a gift of a new policy.

When the original purpose for a life insurance policy no longer applies, you can use it to support the ISM.

Retirement Plan Assets

Retirement plan assets are a great way to support the ISM; they not only help support our future operations, but also can provide tax relief for your loved ones. Money in your employee retirement plan, IRA, or tax-sheltered annuity has yet to be taxed, which means your beneficiaries will owe federal income tax on any distributions they receive from these accounts.

Consider directing your retirement plan assets to the ISM and leaving your loved ones assets that will be taxed less heavily. As a nonprofit institution, the ISM is tax-exempt and will receive the full amount of what you designate to us.
