Support the PTA: Planned Giving


Your Contributions Empower our Mission
Whether you wish to pass assets to your heirs, reduce income taxes, avoid capital gains, or simply turn a modest contribution into an extraordinary one, the the national PTA’s opportunities for Planned Giving can provide an opportunity that is right for you.

We hope you’ll consider being among the PTA members and friends who have demonstrated their special commitment to children by establishing life income arrangements or by including the national PTA in their wills and estate plans.

There are several ways under Planned Giving in which you can donate to the national PTA organization:

Life-Income Gifts — If you want to make a significant gift to the national PTA but are concerned about future income, this might be the choice for you. By utilizing a charitable gift annuity, you can make a meaningful gift to the national PTA and guarantee yourself fixed income for life. 

Estates/Wills/Trusts — If you want to leave a meaningful mark on the organization's work that spans for years to come, you might want to consider a bequest in your estate planning.  Many donors find that through bequests, they are able to make a significant philanthrophic commitment more comfortably than doing so during life.  As with other methods of making gifts, estate gifts can be unrestricted or designated to a specific program. Also, remember that 100 percent of charitable bequests qualify for an estate tax charitable deduction.
 
Insurance — By retaining ownership of a life insurance contract and naming the national PTA as the primary or contingent beneficiary, you avoid estate taxes and probate for the contribution.  It is also possible to contribute a life insurance contract naming the national PTA as the owner and primary beneficiary.

Stocks/Securities — Gifts of appreciated securities may offer significant tax savings and convenience for you and your family. These include elimination or reduction of the tax normally paid on capital gain and a current income-tax deduction equal to the full fair market value of the securities (deductible at up to 30 percent of the donor's adjusted gross income).
