Planned or estate giving can provide significant benefits to you and your family now and in the future. Planned giving options include: wills and estate planning, securities, real estate, and naming USA Gymnastics Foundation as a beneficiary in your life insurance or retirement plan. You can avoid capital gains on appreciated assets, may enjoy tax savings or reduce estate taxes, and leave a permanent legacy for future generations of gymnasts.
Including the USA Gymnastics Foundation in your estate plans is easy. It only takes a few sentences in your will or trust. Your gift can be made as a specific sum or a percentage of your estate. Please consult with your estate planning attorney. The following language can be shared with them.
“I hereby give and bequeath to the USA Gymnastics Foundation, a nonprofit corporation recognized under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Federal Tax ID #35-1757753), the sum of $__________ or ______ percent (____%) of the net residuary of my estate, after the payment of all debts and taxes; or all remaining assets of my estate.
