Gifts of Cash
Cash contributions are a quick and easy way to show your support of Northeast Kingdom Youth Services. Simply write a check or make a cash donation.
Gifts of Securities
Contributions of stock or other securities are a welcome gift at Northeast Kingdom Youth Services. If you contribute appreciated securities that you have held for a year or more, you will receive a charitable deduction for the value of the shares, and you will not have to pay any capital gains tax on the increased value of the donated shares.
Bequest
By leaving a bequest to Northeast Kingdom Youth Services in your will, you will make a lasting contribution to help youth and families in our area in need of our help. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your total estate, or a share of the residue after gifts to your heirs.
Living Trusts
When you choose a living trust, you can provide for yourself and your family before and after your death. You can arrange a contribution through a living trust, naming Northeast Kingdom Youth Services as a beneficiary.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
You can name Northeast Kingdom Youth Services as a beneficiary of your pension, 401k, IRA or other retirement plan. This gift could be the most cost-effective that you make, because you avoid the possible double taxation on retirement plan assets left to your heirs.
Gifts of Real Estate
Your charitable contribution of real estate – personal residence, farm, vacation home, commercial real estate, or vacant land – is a tax-wise gift that has income and capital gains tax advantages. You can deduct the fair market value of the gift, avoid all capital gains taxes, and remove that asset from your taxable estate. By choosing an option called “Retained Life Estate” you can give your personal residence to Northeast Kingdom Youth Services while retaining the right to occupy and otherwise enjoy the full use of the property for your lifetime
.
Gifts of Life Insurance
When your life insurance was originally purchased, you obviously had a need for the benefits to pay for debt or to secure your family’s financial future. Perhaps today you no longer need the life insurance coverage for this purpose. To contribute your life insurance policy, simply name Northeast Kingdom Youth Services as its owner and beneficiary (either wholly or as a partial beneficiary)
Give the Gift that Keeps on Giving
Your gift will create a lasting memorial. Northeast Kingdom Youth Services depends upon the support of generous contributors like you. Your gift to NEKYS will make a difference in the lives of so many people. Properly planned giving can also maximize your tax benefits.
Whatever your gift might be, large or small, please know that it is deeply appreciated and used exclusively for the care of the youth and families we serve.
