Create a Lasting Legacy: Planned Giving and Retirement Accounts
Leave a Legacy, Impact Lives
Charitable giving is a powerful expression of your values, and it can be a significant part of the legacy you leave behind. At Seamen’s Society, we invite you to consider planned giving as a way to preserve your legacy, making a lasting impact on the lives of children and families for years to come.
Why Choose Planned Giving?
By incorporating planned giving into your estate planning, you not only support vulnerable children and families but also enjoy potential tax benefits for your estate and heirs. Your gift can be tailored to specific programs, such as foster care or addressing domestic/intimate partner violence, or contribute to our general fund, benefiting all our programs.
How to Get Started
Explore Options: Planned giving encompasses a range of options, from a simple bequest in your will to establishing a charitable trust. We are here to guide you through the process.
Designate Your Gift: Choose a specific program or provide a general gift to benefit all our programs.

Retirement Account Giving
Tax-Free Distribution for Those 70 and Older
If you are 70 years of age or older, you have a unique opportunity to make a tax-free distribution from your traditional or Roth IRA. This allows donors to contribute up to $100,000 each year without incurring tax penalties on your IRA withdrawal.
For more information on this tax-efficient giving option, contact us at development@seamenssociety.org.
