Planned giving integrates the donor’s charitable gift with his or her overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals to maximize benefits to both the donor and GRACE.
Planned gifts typically come from a donor’s assets rather than income, and can be either outright or deferred. Some types of gifts include:

• Wills
• Trusts, Charitable Lead Trusts, Charitable Remainder Trusts
• Charitable Gift Annuities
• Real Estate
• Life Insurance
• Mutual Funds
• Pooled Income Funds
• Donor Advised Funds

As there are many ways you can plan your estate and include GRACE, we recommend that you consult your legal counsel, tax attorney, and/or financial planner about your estate planning wishes.
Although a simple handwritten document can be legally valid, we recommend consulting an attorney to draft the final version or to alter your current will to include the Global Resource for Advancing Cancer Education.
Sample wording:
