Charitable Remainder Trust/Account
Reduce your taxes, provide a potential income stream for yourself and loved ones, and support Dove House. You can accomplish all three of through a charitable remainder trust (CRT). A CRT is an irrevocable trust designed to reduce your taxable income by first dispersing income to your beneficiaries for a specified period of time, and then donating the remainder of the trust to your designated charitable organization(s).

Please consult your professional financial advisor about setting up a charitable remainder trust.
Financial Accounts
You can designate Dove House as a payable on death beneficiary of a CD, savings account, brokerage account, etc. Often this is simply a form you fill out. Speak with the manager at your financial institution. These gifts are revocable during your lifetime.
Insurance Policies
You may have a life insurance policy that you took out years ago for a specific purpose but no longer need today. In this case, you could designate Dove House as the beneficiary of that policy.

An easy way to make a larger gift over time is to make a gift of a new policy for charitable purposes, which would also give you an income tax deductible.

Please consult your insurance agent or financial advisor about the ways you can use insurance policies to meet your charitable giving goals.
Bequests & Living Trusts
You can include Dove House in a trust, will, or other estate plan. You can make a bequest to Dove House through a simple amendment if youalready have a will, or name Dove House as a beneficiary in your trust. You retain full control of your assets during your lifetime while knowing that your gift will have a lasting impact.

Please consult a lawyer regarding the specifics of your estate and how your will or trust should be worded to best communicate your wishes. You can, however, use this basic language to include Dove House in your estate document:
I give to Dove House a nonprofit organization with federal tax ID number 91-1195187 and located in Port Townsend, WA ___% of the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate.
