Gifts to charitable organizations, such as the AGA Research Foundation, in your future plans ensure your support for our mission continues even after your lifetime. Review these goals to turn financial aspiration into charitable action to achieve your philanthropic vision.

Goal: Take care of those you love

Use your will or living trust to clearly communicate your intentions for how you would like to provide for your loved ones and favorite causes, including the AGA Research Foundation. You can feel secure knowing you will maintain control of your assets until after your lifetime and that your gifts are revocable so you can change your mind at any time.

Goal: Eliminate capital gains tax on stocks

When you donate appreciated securities – that is, stocks you’ve owned for more than 1 year that are now worth more than you originally paid for them – you can benefit yourself and the AGA Research Foundation. You can reduce or even eliminate federal capital gains taxes on the stock transfer, and you may be entitled to a federal income tax charitable deduction.

Tip: There are a number of ways to give appreciated securities, such as outright giving or funding a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust.
 

Goal: Conserve today’s finances

Save critical funds now by naming the AGA Research Foundation as the beneficiary of all or a percentage (1%-100%) of your IRA. Leaving all or part of your IRA to charity after your lifetime dramatically lowers future taxes for your beneficiaries. Naming a charity, like the AGA Research Foundation, as a beneficiary can eliminate federal income taxes that could consume a substantial portion of your account.
