Planned Gifts
The Eagles Mere Foundation supports donors like you in your grant making today. And through planned gifts, we help you leave a charitable legacy. Our various planned giving options include bequests, gifts of life insurance, charitable lead trusts and gifts of retirement assets.
Designated Funds
Designated funds allow you to provide support to a specific nonprofit through a long-term or “term of years” gift. These fund types offer an excellent solution for donors who wish to create a long-term resource to provide continual benefit to one (or more) charitable organization(s), but who prefer not to give the entire amount directly to the charity at the outset or establish an endowment-type fund for multiple nonprofits.
The Eagles Mere Foundation invests designated funds so that a sustainable portion of the fund’s balance (typically around 5 percent) can be paid to continually support the operations of the named charity or charities.
As a donor, you might wish to consider creating a designated fund if:
The benefited charity lacks the size, experience or expertise to administer a sizable fund
You have concerns about the long-term existence of the benefited charity and would like to name backup charities to receive payments if the primary charity ceases to exist or changes its mission
You’re simply more comfortable separating the principal gift from the control of the named charity’s staff and/or board
You may benefit many different nonprofits in an organized and efficient way
Donor Advised Funds
The donor-advised fund is the Foundation’s most popular and flexible vehicle for giving. This fund type allows you to make a tax-deductible gift to the fund now, and recommend grants to specific nonprofits on your own timetable.
A donor-advised fund allows you to receive a tax deduction in the year of any donation to the fund. Then, you and your family can remain actively involved in the fund’s charitable grant making for generations to come. In fact, many of our philanthropists view their donor-advised funds much like a family foundation; it is an alternative to a private foundation, but provides greater tax advantages and involves fewer administrative burdens.
Field of Interest Fund
A field of interest fund is similar to the Fund for Eagles Mere in most respects, except that the grant making from the fund is limited to a particular cause or field designated by you, the donor. For example, you might choose to restrict your grants to an area of need, such as the health of Eagles Mere Lake, environment, or youth programming.
Agency Endowments
Strong organizations build endowments to help support their mission and their future. By placing your organization’s endowment with the Eagles Mere Foundation the organization benefits by a diversified investment portfolio within a larger asset pool.
Philanthropy is a unique enterprise. It can bring you happiness now, and can continue to do so, even beyond your lifetime
The Eagles Mere Foundation supports donors like you in making planned gifts, and helping you leave a charitable legacy for your family and the Eagles Mere community.
