Living Memorials
Charitable giving is an important tradition for many people. Making gifts for the benefit of others offers a wonderful way to affirm your values and priorities. Honoring a loved on through charitable gifts is often an especially meaningful act of paying tribute to someone special, white assuring that worthwhile values continue to influence the world around us. Memorial and tribute gifts allow you to thoughtfully remember family members and friends who have been a vital part of your life.
Gifts of cash and check are the most popular methods of memorial giving. Such gifts can be convenient and can be tax deductible.
Memorial gifts may also be funded with assets such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds that have increased in value. You not only receive regular tax savings, but you entirely avoid the capital gains tax on qualified assets given for charitable use. This extra tax benefit is one reason why a growing number of people choose to make memorial gifts using property other than cash.
Many discover that their long-range estate and financial plans provide a thoughtful way to make memorial gifts in honor of others. A gift included in your will or living trust can establish a lasting legacy.
Easterseals formed the Legacy Society as a way to recognize the generosity of those who remember Easterseals with a major gift. These individuals and civic organizations have ensured the mission of Easterseals will live on through their generosity.
