Transferable on Death (TOD) Gifts
Harold and Jeanne married after meeting at an event Illumination Foundation held for our donors. They wanted to leave a legacy gift that would support our mission and ensure that we remain financially strong well into the future.Jeanne: We talked to our investment advisor about planning goals and explained that we wanted to support Illumination Foundation. Our advisor suggested a simple solution naming Illumination Foundation as a beneficiary of one of our mutual funds.
Harold: I like knowing that if I pass away, Jeanne will have enough to meet her needs. We both like knowing that Illumination Foundation will receive the mutual fund after both of us pass away. We couldn't be happier with our giving strategy.
