Ways to Make a Difference
With your gifts to Kansas 4-H, you can equip youth with the life skills necessary to make our communities a better place to live, work and play.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of today's Kansas youth. The Foundation wants and needs your support to make the best better in Kansas 4-H. Many opportunities exist to include you in these efforts.
Please contact us to assist you and your advisers. We want to help you find the best method to share in the mission of equipping Kansas 4-H with the vital resources to pass on life skills essential for positive youth development. A few of the options include:
| Gifts of Cash | Cash is the most common way to support Kansas 4-H. Donors may make their contributions by check or by making a pledge payable in cash. |
| Bequests by Will | Bequests can specify a dollar amount, name particular assets or designate the Foundation to receive all or a percentage of the estate. |
| Gift Annuities and Charitable Trusts | Special opportunities exist which will provide you a guaranteed income for life in return for your gift to Kansas 4-H. |
| Life Insurance and Retirement Plans | Name the Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), life insurance or other qualified personal plans. |
| Memorial and Tribute Opportunities | Special gifts allow donors to establish permanent recognition as a memorial or tribute. Permanent recognition opportunities exist throughout all Foundation areas of work. |
| Gifts of Stock | By making a gift of stock, donors can avoid taxes on the gains. Charitable contribution deductions equal the full fair market value of the stock. |
| Gifts of Real Estate | A residence, vacation home, farm or vacant lot can be given to help Kansas 4-H'ers. Property gifts can avoid capital gains taxes as well. |
| Retained Life Estate | Give your home or farm to the Foundation now and retain a life interest in the property so that you can receive a substantial charitable deduction on federal income taxes. |
| Matching Gifts | Encourage your business or corporation to match gifts for a special project to help double the efforts of your dollar. |
| Services and Gifts in Kind | Find ways to bring your special talents or unique services to benefit 4-H'ers. |
Many charitable gifts with substantial tax advantages exist to leave a generous legacy and serve Kansas 4-H. Please let us provide you with additional information and assistance.
