Leave a Legacy of Kindness

Through Planned Giving, you can often make a more significant gift than you thought possible, while maximizing the financial and tax benefits to you, your estate, and your family. A planned gift can be as simple as naming Laps and Naps Home for Senior Cats Inc. as a beneficiary in your will or life insurance policy, or transferring stock or bonds directly to Laps and Naps.

Make a Bequest to Laps and Naps Home for Senior Cats Inc. (LNHSC) in Your Will.

  • Charitable bequests can be a specific sum, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after expenses and other gifts.

Name LNHSC as a Beneficiary

  • If you have a life insurance policy that is no longer needed to provide for dependents, consider naming LNHSC as the beneficiary.
  • Some assets, such as IRAs and other qualified retirement plans, do not pass directly through your will and require you to name a beneficiary. Consider making LNHSC a full or partial beneficiary.
  • Name LNHSC as beneficiary of a Certificate of Deposit (CD).

QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION (QCD) DONATIONS

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 made permanent qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from individual retirement accounts. The Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) Law allows IRA owners who are at least 70 1/2 years old to give IRA funds directly to a charity without having to include them in income. A QCD permits annual direct transfers to a qualified charity totaling up to $100,000 of tax-deferred IRA savings.
