Plan ahead

Scott Smith — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 16:37:00 GMT

You’re doing all you can now to give back to your community through Kiwanis. But what about after you’re gone? How can you ensure that your legacy of caring will have an impact for many years to come? A carefully thought-out gift, planned with your legal and financial advisors in conjunction with Kiwanis, can provide income during your lifetime, help you transfer assets and reduce or eliminate tax burdens. And it creates the warm glow of giving.

Kiwanis’ Plan-A-Gift™ online tools include personal calculators, estate and will planning advice, even language to use in a bequest to make giving easy. Learn how you can continue to give to your community—and benefit yourself and your heirs—by making a planned gift to Kiwanis at www.kiwanis.org/foundation/plannedgiving.
