At the Women’s Congressional Policy Institute (WCPI), we are dedicated to bringing together a community of bipartisan women policymakers and trusted partners to advance issues of importance to women, develop the next generation of women leaders, and foster a more effective and representative democracy. You can ensure this vital work continues for generations to come through a planned gift. Planned giving allows you to make a significant impact on the future of WCPI while also achieving your own financial and philanthropic goals.
What is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is a powerful way to support WCPI through thoughtful, strategic giving options that benefit both you and our organization. Unlike immediate cash donations, planned gifts are often arranged during your lifetime but are fulfilled after your passing. This allows you to leave a legacy that aligns with your values and support future generations of women leaders.
Types of Planned Gifts:
- Bequests: Include WCPI in your will or trust by designating a specific amount, percentage, or remainder of your estate.
- Retirement Assets: Name WCPI as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement accounts.
- Life Insurance: Designate WCPI as a beneficiary or transfer ownership of a life insurance policy.
- Charitable Remainder Trusts: Create a trust that provides income to you or your loved ones for life, with the remainder going to WCPI.
- Charitable Lead Trusts: Establish a trust that provides income to WCPI for a set period, with the remainder returning to your heirs.
Benefits of Planned Giving:
- Tax Advantages: Many planned gifts offer significant tax benefits, potentially reducing estate and income taxes.
- Financial Security: Some planned giving options provide income to you or your loved ones during your lifetime.
- Legacy: Your gift will create a lasting impact, helping to ensure that WCPI continues to support women and girls for years to come.
