What is Planned Giving?

Planned gifts are simple to arrange, flexible, and provide benefits to both the donor and the Adventure. These gifts create a lasting legacy in the donor’s name, ensuring that the history and heritage of Adventure continue for generations to come.

Why Planned Giving Matters

Planned giving is one of the most meaningful ways to ensure that the values that shaped your life continue to make a difference for generations to come. It allows you to extend your impact beyond today, creating a legacy rooted in hope, generosity, and the belief that the world can be better because you were here. A planned gift is not just a financial decision — it is a reflection of what you cherish most.

Types of Planned Gifts to Consider

BEQUESTS (Gifts in Your Will or Trust)

A gift in your will or trust is one of the easiest and most popular ways to support our mission. You can designate a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other commitments are fulfilled.

BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

You can name our organization as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or donor advised fund. This is often the easiest way to make a legacy gift—no attorney required.

GIFTS OF STOCK OR OTHER NONCASH ASSETS

A Tax Smart Way to Give Gifts of appreciated stock, real estate, or business interests may offer significant tax advantages. When you donate these assets directly, you may avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the fair market value of your gift. We are happy to provide simple transfer instructions.
