How to Create Your Legacy
Provide Support That Endures
Every day, the patients, care-giving professionals, and researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering count on the hope your generous contributions have provided. But did you know there are ways to continue helping us work toward the progressive control of cancer beyond your lifetime?
Through these special types of gifts, you can balance your need to provide for loved ones and support the causes that matter most to you, including MSK.
Please consider these opportunities, which allow you to make the most impact on MSK's work.
Make a Gift Through Your Will
Many people choose to designate a percentage of their estate, which allows the flexibility to benefit their loved ones and MSK as circumstances changes.
Boost Your Retirement Income
A gift annuity is a special type of donation that allows you to support MSK while providing regular income payments payments to you or someone you designate.
Reduce Taxes on Your Retirement Plan Assets
Individual Retirement Assets (IRAs) and 401(k)s are excellent vehicles for accumulating assets during retirement, but they are far less effective for transferring wealth to your loved ones.
Make an Easy Gift and Still Save on Taxes
Three of the easiest yet tax-wise ways to support MSK can be accomplished in a matter of seconds with a pen or a keyboard. All you have to do is change the beneficiary designations on a document or form. Retirement account assets, a savings account, certificate of deposit, or a life insurance policy may be donated in this quick and easy way.
Our ability to fulfill the hopes and dreams of those affected by cancer begins with you. These gifts can extend your legacy in a way you never imagined.
