Planned Giving

Become a Prevention Partner and leave a legacy to the Prevent Cancer Foundation®.

Planned giving benefits the Prevent Cancer Foundation®, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and presents the opportunity for tax benefits and income for you. There is a wide variety of gift vehicles to consider, ranging from a bequest in your will to various types of charitable trusts. Because planned giving involves your assets, philanthropic goals and family needs, we strongly suggest you consult your attorney or financial planner before entering into any planned gift. We’re ready to help.

For more information, please contact Becca Ginns at 703-519-2117 or becca.ginns@preventcancer.org.

Every dollar given through a bequest is fully deductible for federal estate tax purposes.

  • Income for life for you or your designated beneficiary/ies
  • Immediate income tax charitable deduction
  • Elimination of capital gains tax on appreciated property
  • Elimination or reduction of estate tax 

You can use cash, stocks, bonds, real estate or life insurance to establish a charitable lead trust. Annual income is paid to the Prevent Cancer Foundation and the appreciated assets in the trust are transferred to heirs or beneficiaries at the end of the trust’s term. It provides:

  • Annual income for the Prevent Cancer Foundation
  • Appreciated property that can be passed to designated heirs or beneficiaries
