When you include Friends of Karen in your estate plan, you continue to make a difference, well into the future, for our seriously ill children and their families.

Gifts like this are referred to as “planned gifts” because they reflect your charitable plans and hopes for the future. There are as many ways to make a planned gift to Friends of Karen as there are charitable intentions. Below are a few suggestions.

• Bequests: Name Friends of Karen as a charitable beneficiary in your will or trust. Go to the Bequest information page for suggested bequest language.
• Designations: Name Friends of Karen as a full or partial beneficiary of a life insurance policy, bank account, or brokerage account.
• Retirement Plans: Name Friends of Karen as a beneficiary of a retirement plan (your tax deferred IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan) and possibly avoid double taxation while also supporting our work.

Consult your financial planner and/or attorney about your legacy and then let us know so we can thank you. Please contact Executive Director Judith Factor at judithfactor@friendsofkaren.org or 914-617-4041 to discuss Planned Giving options.
