Leave a Legacy

You can make a difference for the children we serve by leaving a legacy through Planned Giving.  What is Planned Giving?  It’s a wonderful way to support a nonprofit as part of your overall financial and/or estate planning, allowing you to make the biggest impact possible for TIF while minimizing the impact on your estate.

There are many Planned Giving options. A few common options are listed below. Whenever considering or finalizing a planned gift, please contact your financial, tax, or legal advisor for personalized guidance.

Bequests
A bequest is the easiest way to make a planned gift to TIF.  Simply name the Toy Industry Foundation in your will or living trust by designating a specific amount or percentage that you wish to leave TIF. 

Sample bequest phrasing: 
“I give and bequeath to the Toy Industry Foundation, Inc. (Tax ID 13-6161457), a nonprofit corporation with a place of business at 1115 Broadway, Suite 400, New York, NY  10010, [written amount or percentage of the estate or description of property], to be applied at its discretion for its general uses and purposes."

Retirement Plan Assets, IRA
By naming the Toy Industry Foundation as the whole or partial beneficiary of your plan, you’ll ensure our financial future as well as your own.  You may even continue to take withdrawals from your plan during your lifetime, and you will minimize federal estate and income taxes.

Additional types of planned giving include naming TIF as the owner of your life insurance policy or stocks and securities. Whenever considering or finalizing a planned gift, please contact your financial, tax, or legal advisor for personalized guidance.
