Planned giving is personal, and your legacy should reflect what matters most to you. It is also flexible—you can make a difference without impacting your finances today.

Your values live on through our mission, Better Together: Inspiring giving and bringing together people and resources to make a difference in Vermont.

Bequest

One of the simplest ways to give, a bequest allows you to designate a gift in your will or trust to support the causes you care about.

There are many more ways to make a lasting impact

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.

Gift Annuity

You transfer your cash or appreciated property to our organization in exchange for our promise to pay you fixed payments (with rates based on your age) for the rest of your life.

Charitable Remainder Unitrust

You fund a charitable remainder unitrust with cash or appreciated property. The trust sells your property tax-free and provides you with income for life or a term of years.
