Join Our Legacy Society
The ABTA established the Legacy Society to celebrate and thank those individuals who share our vision of a world where not one life is lost to a brain tumor. Should you choose to include the ABTA in your will or other estate plans, we would be honored to know of your intentions and invite you to become a member of our Legacy Society.
Use Your IRA to Give to the ABTA
If you’re like many people, you’ve got an IRA or other retirement fund that represents a significant portion of your assets. Did you know that transferring some of these assets to charity may satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age outlined in the SECURE Act? This can reduce or even eliminate any income taxes due on your RMD. Annually, you can give up to $100,000 from your IRA.
Under the new SECURE Act, the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) age for your IRA has been raised from 70 1/2 to 72. That gives you more time to defer taxable withdrawals. You can still make tax-free qualified charitable donations (QCDs) from your IRA, starting when you reach the age of 70 1/2. But because there’s no age limit on contributions to your IRA, you can keep growing your retirement assets so long as you’re earning income. The key takeaway? IRA giving strategies may provide you with some measurable tax savings! Best of all, you’ll help the ABTA find more effective treatment options faster. It’s a powerful yet budget-friendly way to leave a lasting legacy.

Develop an Estate Plan
With a planned gift to the ABTA, you can combine your desire to give with your overall financial, tax, and estate planning goals.
An estate gift is a charitable donation that comes from assets left behind upon your passing. Whether you name the ABTA in your will or establish a revocable trust—there are many ways you can set up an estate gift. Please consult with your financial, tax, and legal advisors for a thorough analysis of your individual situation, then contact us.
