Gifts in Honor / Gifts in Memory
Honoring a family member, friend, or colleague with a gift in their name is a touching way to pay tribute to a special person in your life.
Stock or Securities
Gifts of stock, bonds, or mutual funds are tax-deductible to the full extent of the Internal Revenue Code. Consult with your broker and tax advisor on the best option for you.
Insurance
A gift of life insurance can be a low-cost yet generous way to make a meaningful contribution by naming Ruth’s Cottage as the primary beneficiary of your life insurance policy or as a contingent beneficiary should your other beneficiaries not survive you. You can also donate your paid-up insurance policy.
Planned Gift
In certain instances, it may be preferable from an estate, financial, and tax planning perspective to consider long-term gift planning. This can be accomplished through various gift instruments, such as charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, and bequests. Consult with your estate planning/tax advisor on the best option for you.
