 Legacy of Liberty ChallengeImagine, by putting plans in place for a bequest through your will or trust, being able to channel up to $10,000 in immediate cash support to the ACLU Foundation to be used to fight current threats to individual liberty. Learn more about how your gift for the future can defend freedom today. | | In the words of ACLU Founder, Roger Baldwin, "No fight for liberty ever stays won." Making a gift to the ACLU Foundation through your estate is one of the most effective ways to ensure the freedoms that you enjoy today are passed down to future generations of Americans.
The ACLU Foundation suggests the following gift arrangements:
Bequests & Living Trusts
A gift to the ACLU Foundation through your will or living trust is a powerful statement of your support for the Bill of Rights. It may also provide a reduction in your taxable estate.
Beneficiary Designation
Naming the ACLU Foundation as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement plan is a simple and smart way to provide for the ACLU. It may also benefit your heirs through avoidance of substantial income and estate taxes.
Life Income Plans
Life income plans allow you to support the ACLU Foundation and, in return, receive income for the rest of your life. Life income plans may also provide significant income tax savings and favorable capital gains tax treatment on gifts of appreciated property.
DeSilver Society
The ACLU Foundation invites you to join over 2,000 ACLU members who have already created a legacy of liberty by becoming a member of the DeSilver Society. Named for Albert DeSilver, an ACLU founder and chief benefactor during its early years, the DeSilver Society recognizes those who have made a planned gift with the ACLU Foundation.
We look forward to working with you to design a gift that meets your goals. If you would like to learn more about how you can create a legacy of liberty, please:
