You might want to leave a bequest—a gift through your will or living trust. You also choose to make a gift that reserves lifetime income to you or a family member. We would benefit in the same manner as if you had made a bequest, but you would be entitled to charitable deductions and other tax benefits today.

Other options include:

• A gift of life insurance by making the CAN Council the owner and beneficiary
  
• Donating collectibles such as jewelry, art, stamps or coins
  
• You may prefer the simplicity of an immediate gift of cash, stocks or property (or a percentage of property)

To specify donations in your will to our endowment campaign, indicate “beneficiary is the CAN Council Endowment Fund of the Saginaw Community Foundation”.

By tailoring the form of your gift to fit your personal situation, you can gain maximum tax rewards, maintain financial security and make a truly meaningful contribution.
