Planned Giving

When you think about your charitable legacy, what do you see? What difference do you want to make when you're no longer here to make it? Whatever your goal, planning today ensures your generosity has lasting impact.

Since our first planned gift in 1965, we have helped people like you turn their values into lasting investments. Your legacy is in good hands.

We work with you and alongside your advisor. Together, we explore your options and build a plan. One that keeps supporting the causes and nonprofits you love, beyond your lifetime.

• Wills or trusts: Your estate becomes a gift that keeps giving. A fund in your name, built into your will or trust. Simply include specific language naming a fund at FFTC as the beneficiary of a testamentary gift.
• Retirement plan assets: Your IRA, 401(k), or 403(b) can do more than support your retirement. Name FFTC as the beneficiary of your retirement funds and turn them into one of the most tax-efficient investments in the causes you care about most.
• Life insurance policies: A life insurance policy can grow into something bigger than its original purpose. Designating FFTC as the owner and beneficiary of the policy or by designating FFTC as a beneficiary of all or a portion of its proceeds. 
• Charitable remainder trusts: Your investment works for you first. Retain income payments for life or a fixed number of years through a fund at FFTC. Then, what remains flows directly to the causes you want to support. 
• Charitable lead trusts: The causes you care about benefit now. Make a current gift of income payments to your fund at FFTC while retaining the right for the principal to be returned to you (and/or others) upon your death or after a fixed number of years.
