Deferred Giving

Deferred gifts are often given as part of an estate plan. Deferred or planned gifts enable donors to support causes that are important to them at life’s end. There are many ways to leave a deferred or planned gift to the Transitions Foundation:

	as a bequest through your will or living trust
	by naming the Transitions Foundation as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy … or transferring ownership of an existing policy to the Foundation
	by naming the Transitions Foundation a beneficiary of your retirement plan (403b, 401k, 401b)
	through a life income plan, such as a charitable remainder trust, a life estate, or a charitable lead trust

A deferred or planed gift may be restricted by the donor for a specific purpose. A deferred or planned gift can be directed to:

	help children with severe developmental disabilities
	help children, ages birth to age three, who are at risk of delays in development
	help people with severe mental illnesses live successfully in our community
	help people with disabilities learn work skills and independent living skills
	help people, regardless of income, to receive counseling services
	help provide recreational and leisure activities for people with disabilities
	help people with disabilities living in Transitions’ residential programs
	help with capital projects
	help strengthen the endowment fund

If you are considering a bequest or a deferred gift, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor and/or attorney. The Foundation development staff are happy to assist prospective donors and their advisors in the gift planning process.
