PLANNED GIVING Give through your Will or Living Trust As a special friend of NAMIKansas you may choose a bequest in your will or living trust as your ultimate charitable gift to help continue the programs you have been supporting over your lifetime. Your will or trust document is an important part of an effective estate plan. It provides for a clear and specific understanding as to how you want to transfer your assets to those you love and to those charitable organizations that you have been committed to during your life. E-mail namikansas@nami.org or call (800) 539-2660 for more information.
GIFTS THAT HELP SAVE TAXES & PROVIDE AN INCOME TO YOU OR A LOVED ONE Charitable Gift Annuity Through a charitable gift annuity, you may make a gift of $10,000 or more to NAMIKansas, receive a charitable income tax deduction, and an income for life for you and/or another person. This option provides the greatest financial benefit to older donors because they receive the highest income rates. For example, an annuity established for the life of a single beneficiary aged 70 earns a rate of 6.7%; an 80-year-old, 8.3%; and 90 years and over, 11.5%. E-mail namikansas@nami.org or call (800) 539-2660 for more information.
Charitable Remainder Trust The charitable remainder trust is a separately managed and highly personalized life income option. This vehicle provides for payments to the beneficiaries either for life or a term of years (not exceeding twenty). At death, or at the end of the term, the remaining trust assets (the remainder interest) are distributed to NAMIKansas. In creating the trust, you, the donor, are able to appoint the trustee, designate the beneficiary and select the term of the trust. The rate may not be less than 5%, however, as the payout rate increases, the charitable income tax deduction to the donor decreases. The amount of the tax deduction is also affected by the number of beneficiaries and their ages. E-mail namikansas@nami.org or call (800) 539-2660 for more information.
GIFTS OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES If you own stocks, bonds, mutual funds or other assets that have increased in value since the time of purchase, you may find it advantageous to give them to NAMIKansas. Your outright gift of long-term, appreciated securities is exempt from capital gains taxes and, if you itemize, you may claim a charitable income tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer. For gifts of property, your gift is fully deductible for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and, like gifts of cash, may be carried forward for up to five additional years. E-mail namikansas@nami.org or call (800) 539-2660 for more information.
ABOUT WORKPLACE GIVING & MATCHING GIFTS Many workplaces today offer the opportunity to make a donation to NAMIKansas through payroll deduction. Whether your employer participates in the Combined Federal Campaign, Community Health Charities, or United Way, please remember to specify NAMIKansas as the recipient of your support. Remember to designate NAMIKansas on your United Way workplace campaign form. Once you do, please let the NAMIKansas office know so that we may acknowledge your generosity. Remember to ask your employer about matching gifts! An easy way to double - even triple - the value of your contribution to NAMIKansas! Thousands of companies (of all sizes, in all industries) have Matching Gift programs that "match" their employees' contributions (often Board members and spouses, too) to their favorite charities.
