Giving Back
“Philanthropy has played a vital role in the Givens story. Dr. and Mrs. Givens’ generosity continues to inspire our mission to improve lives. Our commitment to this vision is just as strong as it was in 1979. Charitable gifts provide programs, care, and amenities that meet residents’ needs, enrich their lives, and keep the communities affordable. The philanthropic investment in our mission and organization touches every corner of our campuses, and our outreach endeavors ripple throughout our region.”
– Brian Guengerich, Vice President of Philanthropy
– Jennifer Clarkson Soster, Director of Philanthropy
How to Give
Planned Giving: Begin Your Legacy With Us
Reach your personal, financial, and philanthropic goals all while helping Givens serve seniors for years to come. Planned giving can provide tax-favorable benefits, including increased income, tax deductions, and partial or full bypassing potential capital gains on appreciated property.
Freewill is a secure online platform and great resource for learning more about estate and planned gifts for residents, friends, attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, CLUs, trust officers, and other gift planning professionals.
Gift Intent Form
Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.
Beneficiaries
Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
Four smart giving options
Rather than donating cash, many of our donors are opting for smarter giving, non-cash options that not only support our mission but may also offer a variety of tax benefits. Click the link below to learn more about gifts from your IRA, making a grant from a donor-advised fund, and giving cryptocurrency.
Save on taxes by giving from your IRA
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Easily make a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. The secure DAF link below:
- Automatically links with your DAF
- Allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used
- Notifies Givens Estates of your intentions
Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.
Cryptocurrency donations!
We accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.
Stock/Securities
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and you can get the tax savings you deserve.
