The easiest and most tangible way of making a lasting impact is to specify an exact amount, a percentage of your estate, or what remains after providing for your heirs.
Including ECZF as a beneficiary of your retirement plan is a tax-savvy way to make a charitable gift, as amounts remaining in theses plans at death may be subject to estate and income taxes when left to individuals. For those 70½ or older, a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA comes with additional tax benefits.
Designating ECZF to receive all or a portion of a life insurance policy no longer needed for its original purpose may also result in income and estate tax benefits.
ECZF can be named a beneficiary of such accounts, simplifying planning and administration processes for estate executors or administrators.
