Planned Giving to Soroptimist

You believe in improving the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world and you want to make sure that we will be able to continue and expand our mission well into the future.

Although you may want to make a gift to Soroptimist, you may also be concerned about your own financial needs and those of your family.

To help your family and Soroptimist, you may wish to consider a planned gift. In addition to providing a number of benefits to you, your planned gift will help provide Soroptimist with the resources necessary to continue the Women’s Opportunity Awards, Soroptimist Club Grants for Women and Girls and other programs that support the Soroptimist mission.

We deeply appreciate you gift and will work to make it as rewarding for you as it is for us. That's why we want you to know about the mutually-beneficial financial tools you can use to plan your gift to Soroptimist:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you can give us appreciated securities instead, and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll receive in return.
• You may be holding assets that would be of greater benefit to Soroptimist than they are you — such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial plans undisturbed.
• You can make Soroptimist a partner in your giving — you can deed us your home but continue to live there, you can sell us property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

These tools are called planned gifts, and this website is the place to learn more about them. Where to start?
