There are various gift planning options that allow you to make a meaningful charitable contribution while maximizing personal, family, and philanthropic goals. These options can help reduce or eliminate income, gift, and estate taxes while offering immediate tax benefits and long-term impact.

One of the most common ways to leave a lasting legacy is through a bequest, which allows you to include Armenian American Cultural Association, Inc. (AACA, Inc.) in your will or living trust. Bequests can be structured as a percentage of your estate, a specific dollar amount or asset, or as a residual bequest—ensuring that your support continues for future generations. Additionally, you may establish a permanent fund in your name for a specific AACA program.

Other planned giving options include naming AACA, Inc. as a beneficiary of your IRA, retirement plan, or life insurance policy, allowing for tax-efficient charitable contributions.

• A Charitable Lead Trust provides annual support to AACA, Inc. for a set period before the remaining assets pass to designated beneficiaries, potentially reducing estate or gift taxes.
• A Charitable Remainder Trust provides lifetime income to you or your chosen beneficiaries, with the remainder supporting AACA, Inc. at the end of the trust term. To learn more about planned giving options or to discuss your legacy gift, please contact AACA, Inc. at giving@aacainc.org.
• For personalized tax benefits, consult your financial advisor or legal counsel. This information is provided for explanatory purposes only and should not be considered legal, tax, or financial advice.
