Easy Ways to Plan Your Giving to Arundel Rivers

A GIFT IN YOUR
WILL OR TRUST

One of the simplest ways to make a lasting gift is to include Arundel Rivers in your will or living trust.

You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, particular assets, or the remainder of your estate after gifts to your loved ones have been made. A bequest can also be changed at any time, allowing you to maintain flexibility as your circumstances evolve.

RETIREMENT PLAN BENEFICIARY

You can name Arundel Rivers Federation as a beneficiary of all or a percentage of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement account.

Beneficiary designations are generally simple to establish and can usually be updated directly through your retirement plan administrator without changing your will.

This can be an easy way to make a significant future gift while preserving other assets for your loved ones.

DONOR ADVISED FUND

If you have a donor-advised fund, you may be able to name Arundel Rivers as a successor beneficiary or designate a percentage of the remaining balance to support our work.

Contact your fund administrator to learn about the options available through your fund.
