Planned Giving

A planned gift is a powerful way to support the mission you care about, while also planning for your future and the people you love. By including Target ALS in your estate plans, you help ensure that progress toward effective treatments continues for generations to come.

Planned giving allows you to make a meaningful contribution beyond your lifetime, often with financial or tax benefits for you and your family.

Why Consider a Planned Gift?

Many supporters choose planned giving because it allows them to:

• Make a lasting impact on a cause they care deeply about
• Align their values with their financial and estate planning
• Potentially reduce taxes or provide for loved ones

Planned gifts can be structured to meet your personal goals while advancing our mission in a profound and enduring way.

Ways to Leave a Legacy

There are several simple ways to include Target ALS in your plans.

Bequests Through a Will or Trust

One of the most common forms of planned giving. You may choose to leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other obligations are met.

Beneficiary Designations

You may name Target ALS as a beneficiary of:

• A retirement account (IRA, 401(k), or similar plan)
• A life insurance policy
• A donor-advised fund

In many cases, this can be done by completing a simple beneficiary designation form. Please check with your financial institution for specific requirements.
