Legacy Gifts

Bequest

Including Pursuit Center in your estate planning is a simple way to create lasting impact. Your financial advisor can add a clause to your will or trust that designates either a fixed amount or percentage of your estate to support our mission and ensure continued services for generations to come.

Beneficiary Designations

You can help sustain Pursuit Center's mission for generations by naming us as a beneficiary of your retirement plan, life insurance policy, or insurance annuity assets.

Special Needs Trust (SNT)

A Special Needs Trust (SNT) allows beneficiaries with disabilities to manage their assets while maintaining eligibility for SSI and Medicaid benefits. This specialized trust provides care and support for individuals with disabilities throughout their lifetime. Many families choose to name Pursuit Center as the beneficiary of the trust, ensuring that any remaining assets continue to support our mission of serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities after their loved one's passing.

Charitable Remainder Trust

A Charitable Remainder Trust allows you to support Pursuit Center while receiving income during your lifetime. This trust designates two beneficiaries—typically you and your chosen charitable organization. You receive a predetermined percentage of investment income from the trust during your lifetime or a set period. When the term ends, the remaining assets transfer to Pursuit Center to support our mission. This type of planned giving can offer significant tax benefits while creating lasting impact.

Charitable Lead Trust

A Charitable Lead Trust provides annual income to Pursuit Center during your lifetime while preserving assets for your beneficiaries. Unlike a Charitable Remainder Trust, this arrangement directs a percentage of investment income to support our mission annually. After your passing, your designated beneficiary receives the remaining assets. This type of planned giving can offer significant tax benefits while making an immediate and lasting impact on our community.

IRA Charitable Rollover

Through an IRA Charitable Rollover, you can make tax-free gifts directly from your traditional or Roth IRA to Pursuit Center. This tax-efficient giving option allows you to support our mission while potentially reducing your taxable income (certain restrictions apply).

Stocks & Securities

Make a lasting impact by donating stocks to Pursuit Center. When you gift stock owned for more than one year, you receive a charitable deduction for its full market value while avoiding capital gains tax on any appreciation. This tax-efficient giving option allows you to maximize your support of our mission while enjoying potential tax benefits.

Contact the Development Team

If you have any questions about the benefits of a planned gift, please contact development at 713.525.8479, and we can work with you and your professional advisors to create a plan that is right for you.
