Planned Giving / Bequests

Planned giving to National Spinal Cord Injury Association (NSCIA) can be an important part of your impact on your family and our community. Anyone, regardless of age or income, can gain from financial and estate planning. Planned giving can enable higher charitable donations, while maximizing tax benefits. You'll be supporting our mission while enhancing the financial security of your family.

Property that is left to the National Spinal Cord Injury Association (NSCIA) through your will is exempt from estate taxes and is deductible in calculating your taxable estate. Your bequest may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of the estate, or certain assets such as securities, stocks or retirement accounts. An outright bequest can be stated in a new will, or added as a codicil to an existing will, as simply as follows:

"I give and bequeath to The National Spinal Cord Injury Association, a not-for-profit corporation located in the City of Bethesda and State of Maryland, [the sum of __ dollars] or [all or __% of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate] for its general purpose."

Other planned giving alternatives include creation of a charitable remainder trust in your will, or one of several forms of Life Income Plans.

To notify us of your intention to make a planned gift, please contact development@spinalcord.org. Of course, you should always consult your legal counsel in estate planning matters.
