Become a member of the “I Will” Club by naming Project Independence as a beneficiary of your will, trust or planned gift. Members receive a framed membership certificate and distinctive lapel pin, are listed on our Web site and Year in Review, and are invited to our periodic donor receptions. Additional details about planned gifts follow.
 
Planned Giving
Life Insurance. You can also name Project Independence as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Simply transfer ownership of an existing policy that is fully paid or you can establish a new policy in the name of Project Independence and make monthly or quarterly premium payments.

Retirement Plans. You may want to use your retirement savings to make a contribution. Left to heirs other than a spouse, retirement savings funds can incur both estate and income taxes. Donating them to charity reduces the tax burden borne by your heirs, and provides you with a sizable tax deduction. Simply name Project Independence as the beneficiary of an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), 401(k), or other retirement savings plan.

Bequests. If you prefer, you can make your gift through a bequest in a will or living trust.

Other Planned Giving Opportunities. There are also a variety of planned giving instruments, such as charitable remainder trusts, which can provide a significant gift to Project Independence while providing you with an income stream during your lifetime.

For additional information about making a planned gift to Project Independence, please contact Fund Development Consultant Joan McBride at 714-322-7437 or jjmcbride@aol.com.

Project Independence is pleased to recognize Robert Watson for his membership in the “I Will” Club (as of December, 2010).
