OTHER WAYS TO SUPPORT THE NEVADA TEST SITE HISTORICAL FOUNDATION:
Gifts of Stock - this is almost as easy to do as gifts of cash. When you transfer
appreciated stock to NTSHF, you may be eligible to take an immediate income
tax deduction and bypass tax of the appreciation (capital gains) of the stock.
Bequests
- Bequests to NTSHF can reduce the taxes on an individual's estate. If you
are interested in making a bequest to NTSHF, you can either make a bequest
of a specific amount of money or property (such as 100 shares of XYZ stock)
or a bequest of a percentage of the estate. Sample language for a bequest
could be worded something like:
FOR A SPECIFIC BEQUEST:
"I, (name of donor), give (specific amount) to the Nevada
Test Site Historical Foundation, having its offices at 755 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV, 89119 for its general purposes."
FOR A PERCENTAGE BEQUEST:
"I, (name of donor), give (a specific percentage) of my estate to the Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation, having its offices at 755 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, NV, 89119 for its general purposes."
A third type of bequest is a residual bequest in which the donor leaves the remainder of the estate, after all other gifts and expenses are taken care of, to the Nevada Test Site Historical Foundation.
Life Insurance - Life insurance policies provide surviving beneficiaries with
a death benefit. If you wish to include NTSHF as a beneficiary of a life insurance
policy, you may do so - in consultation with your financial advisor and family
members. There is no charitable deduction for this gift because the gift is
only realized at the donor's passing. You can also make NTSHF the owner and
beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Premiums paid by the donor may then
be tax-deductible.
As with any gift arrangement, please consult your financial advisor before making a gift to NTSHF.
