Estate Planning/Capital Giving

Include the Food Bank of Northern Indiana in Your Estate Planning – Define Your Legacy

Most people would like to leave their mark on the world; to do something that makes the Earth a better place in which to live. Your contributions to our future are a wonderful way to make a significant impact upon our world and they can serve to reflect your values. So why not continue your support to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana and its mission through your estate plan?

Consider a bequest: Gifts through your will can be a particular item or a percentage of your estate. They can be contingent (passing to us only if another beneficiary dies before you) or in trust, providing income to your spouse or children before passing for our benefit.

Give life insurance: You can name us as the beneficiary of a policy on your life or contribute an old policy that you no longer need.

Leave financial accounts: You can indicate that savings, CD’s or other financial accounts, including IRA’s, will be payable to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana upon your death. Ask your account custodian for details. Bequests of IRA’s save significant taxes!

Include the Food Bank in your revocable trust: Lifetime trusts (revocable living trusts) are popular for many reasons. They relieve the property owner of management responsibilities, reduce probate costs, afford privacy and can be changed without the formalities of a will. You can include us as a beneficiary of your revocable trust.

A planned gift to the Food Bank of Northern Indiana is best made with the counsel of one’s financial advisor, such as an attorney, accountant, banker, financial planner, or insurance professional.
