Planned Giving at the Institute for Justice

The Institute for Justice wants you to know about some unique financial tools you can use to plan your gift so that it also returns benefits to you.

Did you know that:

• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — name IJ as a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or of your retirement plan.
• You don't have to use cash to make your gift — donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, and you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
• Give an asset that may help us more than it's helping you — such as a life insurance policy whose coverage your family no longer needs, or real estate like a second home or a parcel of undeveloped land, or even a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.

How do I start?

To find out your giving options, go to Gift Plans. Discover the variety of funding choices at Assets to Give. Compare the plans and see which come closest to your needs at Goals & Benefits.
