Eva’s Village offers a variety of strategic gift opportunities called planned gifts. Also known as legacy gifts, these gifts are designed to complement your philanthropic and estate planning goals. Planned gifts can offer significant tax savings and, in most cases, will not affect your current financial situation. If desired, your gift can be designated to a particular program or initiative.

Gift Options

Bequest

A gift made through your will or living trust. Often just a sentence or two, it’s a gift that costs nothing during your lifetime and allows you the flexibility to update your intention if circumstances change. If you already have a will or living trust, you can amend it to include Eva's Village via a simple codicil. Bequests can be made for a fixed amount, percentage, or residual.

​Beneficiary Designation

If you have set up a retirement plan, insurance policy, bank, and/or brokerage account, chances are you’ve completed a beneficiary designation form to specify who will benefit and what percentage you’d like each to have. In addition to naming individuals, you can also name charities like Eva's Village.

Charitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity is a simple agreement between you and Eva's Village. In exchange for a gift of cash or appreciated assets, you receive fixed payments for life.
The gift also entitles you to an immediate charitable income tax deduction. At the end of its term, the annuity balance comes to us to support our mission.

Charitable Lead Trust

A charitable lead trust works like a charitable remainder trust in reverse. When you
make the gift, the trust pays income to Eva's Village first, typically for a term of up to 20 years. After that, the trust assets are passed back to you or other family members you designate.

Retained Life Estate

With this gift, you transfer the deed for your property to Eva's Village and retain the right to use or live on the property for your lifetime. The tax deduction you receive in the year of the transfer is based on your life expectancy and the property’s current value, and you agree to cover expenses and maintenance of the property during your lifetime.

Donor Advised Funds

You can support Eva's Village by naming us as a beneficiary of your Donor Advised Fund. Simply Designate Eva's Village as a beneficiary to ensure the funds go to us after your lifetime while you retain full control during your lifetime. ​​

Charitable Remainder Trust​

 ​You transfer assets to a trust, and the trust pays a fixed or variable income to you or other beneficiaries. Payments can be for life, or a term of up to twenty years, and when the trust terminates, the assets go to Eva's Village. The donor receives a charitable deduction and may avoid capital gains.
