Support the Downtown Annapolis Partnership in your estate planning
Work with your estate planner to continue leaving your mark on Annapolis beyond your lifetime.
Retain your assets during your lifetime
-
Leaving a gift in your will or revocable living trust allows you to retain the lifetime use and ownership of your assets, reduce estate taxes, and make a significant gift to the Downtown Annapolis Partnership. You may designate a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your residual estate to the Downtown Annapolis Partnership, while leaving other assets to your family and friends.
Provide income to you or someone else with a Charitable
-
Charitable gift annuities provide a secure, fixed income for life. The annuity rate is based on the age of the beneficiaries when the annuity is funded.
-
Charitable remainder trusts can be established to provide a fixed income over time. They enable you to enjoy a regular income for life or a term of years.
Transfer assets to family at reduced cost
-
Charitable lead trusts enable you to transfer your cash or property to fund a lead trust that makes a gift to the Downtown Annapolis Partnership over several years.
Giving by beneficiary designation
-
Naming the Downtown Annapolis Partnership as the beneficiary of a retirement plan account is a smart way to give. Income from a retirement account often is taxed more heavily than other assets and so may become a liability for your loved ones.
-
Another simple way to have a lasting impact is to name the Downtown Annapolis Partnership as the beneficiary of a certificate of deposit, bank or brokerage account, or life insurance policy.
