Top Ten Reasons to Leave a Lasting Legacy

1. Prepare a will. Only 50 percent of those who pass away have one. Without a will, you allow the government
   to decide for you how your assets will be distributed.
   
2. Leave a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate to the Joshua Frase Foundation in your will. Gifts may be made outright at the time of your death or after you make provision for your spouse and other
   loved ones.
   
3. Leave a specific item to the Joshua Frase Foundation in your will. Such items include, but are not limited to, stocks, bonds, CDs and real estate. Such gifts can provide significant tax savings.
   
4. Make a planned gift to the Joshua Frase Foundation. Options include charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts and charitable annuities, which offer income and estate tax benefits. Speak with your
   attorney or financial advisory about which technique is best for you.
   
5. Name the Joshua Frase Foundation as the beneficiary of your pension plan, 401K, 403B or IRA. Retirement plans are often considered the smartest assets leave to charity.
   
6. Name the Joshua Frase Foundation as the beneficiary of your individual or group life insurance policy. This is an excellent way to make a meaningful contribution with little expenditure.
   
7. Donate cash or securities to the Joshua Frase Foundation today. Such contributions can provide immediate income tax savings, while reducing the size of your taxable estate.
   
8. Encourage friends and family to include the Joshua Frase Foundation in their will, trust or retirement plan.
   
9. Ask your financial planner to include charitable giving as part of counsel to clients.
   
10. Make a tribute gift. Memorialize a loved one or honor a birthday, anniversary or special occasion by making a gift to the Joshua Frase Foundation.
