Planned Giving at The Huntington

Planned gifts provide the resources that create extraordinary opportunities while preserving the future of The Huntington.

There are a number of giving options from which you can choose—from naming The Huntington as a beneficiary in your will to a more complex trust arrangement.

 

This month:

Did you know that:

• You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you may donate appreciated securities instead. The deduction is the same as for a cash gift, and you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.
  
• You may give an asset that may help us more than it's helping you — such as a life insurance policy whose coverage your family no longer needs, or real estate like a second home or a parcel of undeveloped land, or even a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display.
  
• You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — name The Huntington as a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or of your retirement plan.
  
• You can make The Huntington a partner in your giving — you can deed us your home but continue to live there or you can sell us property at a charitable discount.
