Gifts may be unrestricted for use where the need is greatest or restricted to a specific program of your choice.  We can help you explore tax or estate planning benefits for your gift.

Memorials: You may contribute to a memorial in the name of someone dear to you, a loved one or friend who may have passed away or upon a special occasion marking a birthday, anniversary, etc.  You may also create an ongoing memorial in memory of someone or contribute to an ongoing fund for that purpose.

Cash Contributions or pledges: You may gift cash or make a pledge over a year or years directly to LARC as the most direct and quickest way to support us.   Contributions may be unrestricted or restricted.

Contribution of Property: You may contribute personal property consisting of land, residence, commercial, art, furnishings and other valuables directly to LARC, subject to approval by LARC.

Contribution of Deferred or Planned Gifts: You can name LARC as the beneficiary of your IRA, 401K or other retirement plan or you or your beneficiary may contribute to enjoy income through a charitable remainder unitrust or a charitable remainder annuity trust funded through a gift during your lifetime or through a testamentary disposition.  You may also contribute assets now through a charitable fund through a charitable lead trust and continue to receive income for your lifetime.   You may also contribute to LARC through your life insurance by making LARC your beneficiary.  Life insurance is a gift that can contribute a large pay out for low premium costs.

Matching Gifts: Your place of business or work may be a corporation that matches gifts of their employees to not for profit corporations, 501(c) 3.   Check with your personnel office for details.
