Charitable Bequests
Making a bequest to GYAC is an easy and usually inexpensive way to transfer assets — cash, securities, real estate, life insurance and retirement plans — to support GYAC.
If you have remembered GYAC in your estate plans, please let us know. We would like the opportunity to thank you for your future gift, today. You may notify us by phoning Peggy Gibbs at 772.794.1005, extension 241.
Gifts of Stock
If you own non-cash property such as stocks and mutual funds that have grown in value and have been held for more than one year, you can enjoy greater tax savings by donating the security to GYAC. By giving a gift of appreciated securities, you may avoid paying capital gains on the stock or security, receive a charitable gift deduction on your tax return, and GYAC receives the full value of your security.
Declaration of Future Intent
If you plan to leave an estate gift to the Gifford Youth Achievement Center, please consider completing the Declaration of Future Intent form. This non-legally binding form will help ensure that your philanthropic aspirations will be fulfilled according to your wishes. This will enable us to celebrate you today as a member of the GYAC Legacy Society and will signify to others your powerful belief in the transformative power of education, mentorship, and community support.
For more information regarding the Gifford Youth Achievement Center Planned Giving Program and the GYAC Legacy Society, contact Peggy Gibbs, CFRE at 772.794.1005.
Consult with your financial advisor to determine the best plan for your specific situation.
