Planned Giving

The principal benefits of planned gifts accrue to AHLA at a later time, after your death, or the death of your last named beneficiary. Planned gifts take many forms, providing additional income for you and/or your heirs, reducing income and estate taxes, relieving you and your heirs of complicated financial management responsibilities, and helping to fulfill your personal, humanitarian, and charitable objectives. Planned gifts can be made in cash, stocks, bonds, personal property, or life insurance.

Bequests by Will

One of the simplest planned gifts is a bequest through your will in which you designate either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate after other disbursements. In addition to supporting AHLA, it serves as an example to your heirs of the values and ideals you hold dear. A bequest also can reduce the amount of your taxable estate, which may increase the actual amount available to loved ones.

Beneficiary Designations

A beneficiary designation gift is a simple and affordable way to support the next generation of health law professionals. You can designate AHLA as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, investment or bank account, or your life insurance policy. By making AHLA your beneficiary, you will impact the lives of current and future health law professionals. 

IRA Charitable Rollover

Donors 70 1/2 or older with a traditional IRA are eligible to make a tax-free donation to AHLA directly from their IRA account. IRA gifts can fulfill Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), reduce taxable income, and have an immediate impact on AHLA. IRA Charitable Rollovers are also sometimes referred to as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
