Gift Options
A gift to the ADA Foundation is one of the most important and fulfilling ways you can promote dietetics. Planned gifts can help accomplish your personal financial goals as well as ADAF’s goal to fund the future of the dietetics profession through research and education.
1. Consider gifts of stocks, bonds or securities. Benefits of these non-cash options may include a tax deduction and a reduction or avoidance of capital gains tax.
2. Name ADAF as a beneficiary if you have more life insurance than your family needs, or consider taking out a new policy with ADAF as the beneficiary.
3. Contribute tax free dollars for use at a later date through a retirement plan. Distributions from retirement funds are taxed but can provide tax advantages.
4. Designate ADAF as a beneficiary in your will. This is an opportunity to support your profession while costing you nothing during your lifetime. Planned gifts allow you to make a significant investment in the dietetics profession without detracting from your current income or undermining your financial security.
Consider making a planned gift to the ADA Foundation which will make a difference now and in the future. ADAF strongly advocates consulting your legal and financial counsel when making estate plans.
