Planned Giving
Through charitable giving and responsible endowment investment practices, the La Salle Educational Foundation exists to secure a sustainable future for our school, ensuring that future students whom we may never meet will have opportunities to grow rich in knowledge and faith like those who have graduated from La Salle before them. We invite you to consider including the La Salle Educational Foundation in your will, trust or estate plans to help us secure the future of La Salle and our community.
Planned giving need not be complex or elaborate. Here are two of the easiest ways to include the La Salle Foundation in your financial/estate plans:
Beneficiary Designations
One of the most simple, flexible, and effective ways to direct your gift! Retirement plans, life insurance policies, securities accounts, and donor advised funds are typically dispersed according to beneficiary designations, making these assets no longer subject to probate.
Key Benefits:
• Assets remain in your control during your lifetime
• Easy to change
• Doesn’t require you to change your will or trust
• Revocable
Charitable Bequests
A charitable bequest is a gift to charity made through a donor’s will or trust. Bequests can be specified by gift amount or as a percentage of the donor’s estate.
Key Benefits:
• Assets remain in your control during your lifetime
• Easy to change
• Allows for contingencies
• Revocable
All family estates are unique and there are many giving vehicles that may work better for your circumstance. Please consult with your tax and/or estate advisors before deciding which vehicle is right for your family!
