The Inland Northwest Planned Giving Council

How your planned gift can benefit you, your family, and our community.

Making a gift to a non-profit organization through a will or estate planning can result in significant savings on the taxes you pay on capital gains, investments, and other kinds of income. A professional financial planner, attorney, stockbroker, insurance agent, trust officer, or development officer are excellent resources for information on how this can benefit you.

Giving a bequest to a non-profit organization through your will allows you to choose where your estate will go and in most cases reduces the taxes on your estate.

Your planned gift -- regardless of its size -- to a non-profit organization is a meaningful way to honor the work they do in your community.

For more information about leaving a legacy to a non-profit organization through a planned gift, contact a professional advisor or the non-profit organization of your choice. You may also request a list of Inland Northwest Planned Giving Council (INWPGC) members; all individuals involved in planned giving or estate planning to assist you.
