You can ensure that we continue to raise champions for nature by making a planned gift to PEEC. Your legacy gift will get kids outside for generations to come.
IRA Distributions
You can make tax-free charitable gifts directly from your IRA if you’re 70½ or older. In 2025, you can give up to $108,000, and for those 73+, the gift counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). Ensure your gift is completed by December 31 to qualify for the current tax year.
Donor Advised Funds
A personal investment account for charitable giving allows individuals to set aside funds specifically for philanthropy, enabling them to make donations to charitable organizations over time while managing and growing the assets within the account.
Appreciated Securities
Appreciated securities and mutual funds held for over a year can support PEEC’s mission while offering potential tax benefits to you, including capital gains tax savings and a charitable deduction based on fair market value.
Designate PEEC as a Beneficiary
A beneficiary designation is one of the easiest ways to leave a gift, allowing you to designate a beneficiary for assets like retirement plans (IRA, 401k, 403b), brokerage accounts, checking and savings accounts, donor-advised funds (DAFs), life insurance policies, or commercial annuities. These assets transfer directly to the named beneficiary without going through probate.
Charitable Bequests Through
a Will or Trust
A gift from a will or trust can include a specific sum of money, a designated asset, or a percentage of the residual estate, allowing individuals to leave a lasting legacy to their chosen beneficiaries. This is one of the most common ways to make a charitable contribution through estate planning.
