More than 70 percent of Americans contribute to the nonprofit groups of their choice throughout their lifetimes, but only about 6 percent continue this support through a gift in their will or estate plan. By making a "planned gift," you can continue to help organizations like Camp Fire that are making an important difference in our community-in perpetuity.

Wills
One of the simplest means of planned giving is to provide a bequest to Camp Fire USA Alaska Council in your will. You can name Camp Fire as the direct beneficiary of assets, a portion or percentage of your estate, or what remains of your estate after your other obligations have been met. You should contact an attorney for assistance in drafting your will.

Life Insurance Policies
You can designate Camp Fire as the sole or partial beneficiary of your life insurance policy. Donate a fully paid policy to Camp Fire and qualify for a tax deduction, or name Camp Fire as the owner and beneficiary of the policy and take an income tax deduction for the approximate value of the policy at the time of transfer.

Retirement Plans
You can specify Camp Fire as the beneficiary of your pension, IRA, Keough, SPE, or other plan.

Charitable Trusts
You can take advantage of creative and versatile living trusts to provide assets to Camp Fire while you retain the full use and benefit of those assets during your lifetime. For example, cash, securities, or real estate can be placed into a charitable remainder trust, which pays annual income to you and/or your loved one for life, then benefits Camp Fire at your death. Such an option can offer attractive tax incentives.
