Beneficiary Designations

Beneficiary designations are among the most flexible ways to support Pine Street Inn.

Consider the following reasons why this gift type is so popular and might be a smart way for you to give:

  • You can make the gift without having to revise your will or living trust.
  • It is easy to modify the beneficiary forms to adapt to changing intentions and circumstances.
  • Arranging such a gift is simple and generally entails little or no expense.
  • When a charity is a beneficiary of retirement funds, those funds will not be subject to income tax.
  • You may save estate taxes, depending on the size of your estate.
  • The gift becomes available to the charity with little delay.

Types of Beneficiary Designations:

  • IRA and Qualified Retirement-Plan Distributions
  • Donor-Advised Fund
  • Paid-Up Life Insurance Policy
  • Commercial Annuity
  • Bank Accounts
  • Brokerage Accounts

All you need to do is fill out a change-of-beneficiary form that your account administrator can provide and designate Pine Street Inn as a beneficiary.
