One way to donate to Bridgehaven is by including planned giving in your will or estate plan. Planned giving allows you to designate a donation to be given at a later date or upon your death. This is a way to ensure that your assets benefit your family and ministries like Bridgehaven, instead of being distributed by state law.

Bridgehaven can accept planned gifts of:

• Bequests
• Cash, check, or credit cards
• Charitable lead trusts
• Charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts
• Life insurance policies and proceeds
• Real estate and other forms of personal property
• Securities
• Stock and other business interests

This worksheet has information that can help you start to create a will.

Additionally, Endow Iowa Donors who give to a permanently endowed fundat a qualified community foundation are eligible to receive a 25 percent state tax credit for their gifts.
