Ways to Create Your Legacy
There are many ways to make a planned gift to Little Red Dog. Explore the options below to find an approach that aligns with your philanthropic and financial goals.
Gift in Will
A gift in your will or trust is the most popular way to leave a legacy — leave a percentage, amount, or remainder of your estate.
Beneficiary Designation
Avoid unwanted taxes. Assets like 401(K)s, IRAs, Life Insurance Policies, and other accounts make great future gifts with lasting impact.
Qualified Charitable Distributions
If you're 70½ or older, direct distributions from your IRA to Little Red Dog to reduce taxable income.
Gifts of Stock & Securities
Donate appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to charity to maximize your tax benefits and make a bigger impact while supporting the arts.
Donor Advised Fund
Recommend grants from your existing donor-advised fund to support Little Red Dog’s mission while enjoying immediate tax benefits and strategic giving flexibility.
Donate Crypto
When you contribute Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency directly to charity, the receiving org gains full proceeds from the sale, and you potentially eliminate capital gains exposure.
