Creating a will and estate plan is a good first step in protecting the people closest to you and the assets you’ve worked so hard to accumulate.

Most people do not use all of their retirement assets during their lifetime, and those remaining assets, including trading accounts, can be used to make a gift to provide care for others.
The best method is to name Chaplaincy as a beneficiary on your plan’s beneficiary designation form. Because charities do not pay income taxes on the donations they receive, those distributions will not be taxed as income.
Life Insurance
If you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need because of a change in your life circumstances, you can give a paid-up policy, or even a policy on which you are still paying premiums.

There are two simple ways to set up a gift of life insurance:
- You can irrevocably designate Chaplaincy as the owner and beneficiary of your life insurance policy. By doing so, you may be entitled to a generous charitable income tax deduction.
- You can name Chaplaincy as irrevocable beneficiary, but retain ownership of the policy itself. Call or write to your insurance company to request a form to make this change of beneficiary.
IRA Gifts
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a contribution of up to $100,000 annually from your IRA account to help Chaplaincy Health Care.

A donation transferred directly from your IRA is not considered federally taxable income for you, but it does count toward your required minimum distribution.
