Include a bequest for us in your will (cash, specific property, or a share of the estate residue).

Today — a painless way to build our financial strength. Tomorrow — resources that we will put to use.

Get benefits back from the assets you give to ESR — and thus afford a larger gift.

Make a contribution to a pooled income fund. Create a life-income plan like a charitable gift annuity. Create a life income plan like a charitable remainder unitrust.

Receive income for your lifetime, receive a charitable deduction, and diversify your holdings.

Reduce high tax liability now; gain additional income later.

Establish a deferred gift annuity.

A larger deduction and a higher income rate than our other life-income gifts offer.

Leave more of your estate to your heirs.

Name ESR as beneficiary of your retirement plan, leave less-taxed assets to family.

Eliminate income tax on retirement plan assets, and free up other property to pass to your heirs.

Avoid capital gains liability and take an income tax deduction.

Use appreciated securities, instead of cash, to make your gift.

Buy low and give high — while avoiding capital gains tax.

Create a long-term gift that won't draw funds from your estate.

Create a new life insurance policy, or donate a paid-up policy whose coverage you no longer need.

Increase your ability to make a significant gift to ESR.
