The power of planned giving

Planned gifts provide critical support to the Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation. In turn, these gifts financially aid the Bosma Center for Visionary Solutions to provide programs that bring hope and independence to the people we serve. A planned gift, as part of an overall estate plan, takes your needs and those of your loved ones into consideration while helping to support a cause that is personally meaningful to you.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

A legacy gift allows you to maintain assets during your lifetime while providing valuable estate planning and tax advantages. Some options can even provide you with income. When you start your legacy gift to Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation, your impact on Hoosiers who are blind never ends.

Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation can help you secure your personal legacy. We will employ the smartest and most up-to-date strategies in planning how you will be remembered.

We will work with your financial, tax and legal advisors but we are unable to provide financial, tax or legal advice, as each individual’s situation is unique.

Gift Options

How you can direct your gift

BEQUEST THROUGH YOUR WILL

Name Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation as the recipient of a charitable gift in your will or living trust. You may contribute a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate or the residual of your estate.

LIFE INSURANCE

Life insurance policies you own enable you to name a charitable beneficiary. Designate Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation as the full or partial beneficiary on the required beneficiary form.

RETIREMENT FUNDS

Name Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation as the beneficiary of retirement funds held in your IRA, 401(k) or 403(b) to add to or establish a charitable fund. This is a simple and effective way to create your legacy since it will not be subject to either estate or income taxes.

A CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY

Guarantee income for life and an immediate charitable income tax deduction when you support The Foundation with a gift annuity. You make an irrevocable gift to Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation, and the Foundation pays a fixed dollar amount to you and one other person (if you choose). 

A CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST

By transferring assets to establish a charitable remainder trust, you receive an immediate tax deduction and lifetime income for you and your named beneficiary. Charitable remainder trusts offer a great deal of flexibility.

A CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST

Distribute income to Bosma Visionary Opportunities Foundation from your charitable fund for a period of years or during your lifetime. Then the remaining assets return to you or your surviving family members. The result is gift and estate tax savings.
