Planned Giving

Invest in the Future of The Langley School

The term planned giving refers to charitable gifts that are arranged with forethought and planning and are executed over an extended period of time or at some point in the future. A planned gift for Langley is a legacy that will impact young lives for years to come. For many individuals, supporting Langley is an emotional choice, an acknowledgement of deeply-held values. A wide range of planned giving options presents practical options for safeguarding your financial security, realizing tax advantages, and contributing to the school’s financial well-being. Planned giving can appeal to both the mind and heart. You can honor the past and secure the future.

Opportunities for Planned Giving

Bequests: A provision may be made in your will stating that The Langley School (tax identification number 54-0673568) is to receive a specific amount, a percentage, or the remainder of your estate after payments of other amounts. Your estate will receive a charitable deduction.

Gift of Life Insurance: The Langley School may be named the owner of an existing or new whole life policy. You will be entitled to an income tax deduction. As an alternative, you may change the beneficiary to The Langley School, providing a tax deduction for your estate.

Retirement Assets: Because of the income and estate taxes that may be owed on retirement assets, they make an ideal estate gift. Your estate will escape paying them if the assets are donated to Langley. All that’s needed is to list the school on the beneficiary designation form for the percentage of the fund that will be your gift. Another option is to designate the assets to create an income-producing gift to benefit your spouse or heirs.

Gift of a Residence with a Life Interest: Ownership in a primary residence, vacation home, or farm may be donated while retaining all rights to lifetime use. In return, you earn a current charitable deduction on your income taxes and remove the asset from your estate.

Life Income Gifts: Life income gifts allow you and/or loved ones to receive income while making a significant gift to The Langley School. These gifts may also provide you with an income tax deduction, investment diversification, reduced estate taxes, and the satisfaction of supporting the school during your lifetime. There are several types of life income gifts, including:

Charitable gift annuities
Charitable remainder trusts
Charitable lead trusts
