PLANNED GIVING
Ways to Give
Leaving a legacy gift is one of the most powerful actions you can take to support students of Aurora Public Schools. A legacy commitment is an investment in education that will directly impact and transform the future for generations to come.
A Gift in Your Will or Trust
A gift made through a will or living trust can be convenient to arrange. A simple provision or amendment prepared by your attorney at the time you make or update your will or trust is all that is necessary. Gifts included in wills and living trusts are popular because they are flexible, easy to arrange and may be changed with your life circumstances.
Beneficiary Designations
A retirement plan can be a tax-efficient way to support the students of Aurora Public Schools. Simply request a beneficiary designation form from the company who manages your account. Beneficiary designations may be made on the following type of accounts: IRA, 401k, life insurance or cash accounts with a POD designation.
Non-cash Assets
Donating certain non-cash assets like real estate or artwork can provide significant tax benefits while also supporting students.The APS Foundation Board of Directors has final authority in the acceptance of non-cash gifts.
Required Minimum Distributions
If you are 70½ or older, you can give up to $100,000 per year from your IRA without any income tax implications.
