Leaving a legacy for the parks in your will or estate plan doesn’t affect your current financial standing.
Moreover, certain planned gifts can offer notable tax advantages. Explore the ways you can enrich the parks through a thoughtful planned contribution.
Bequest
For generations, people have made causes like the state parks a beneficiary in their will. A simple conversation with an estate attorney can make this happen. Just remember to specify the Alabama State Parks Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or estate plan.
Trust
For example, a charitable remainder trust provides life income for the donor. At the passing of the donor, the remainder of the trust goes to the parks.
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities are yet another way donors to the parks can earn life income and benefit the parks at their passing.
Land or Property Donations
Land donations can also benefit the Alabama State Parks and perhaps shelter your assets from onerous tax burdens.
