Bequests
Making a charitable bequest to Chrysalis House Inc, means including CHI in your will. A gift to charity is 100% tax deductible on the decedent’s estate tax return.
Individual Retirement Account
A designation in your IRA or other retirement plan may be a very cost-effective way of making a gift to Chrysalis House Inc. If you leave your retirement plan to your children, they will have to pay income tax on either a lump sum distribution or the income stream from the plan. CHI does not pay this tax.
IRA Qualified Charitable
Distribution (QCD)
The IRA Charitable Distribution allows individuals age 70 1/2 or older to donate up to $100,000 to the charity of their choice directly from their Individual Retirement Account. Please consult your tax advisor to find out whether this is an appropriate option for you.
Appreciated Securities
Chrysalis House accepts donations of appreciated securities. Please contact the Director of Philanthropy at philanthropy@chrysalishouses.org for instructions on donating stock.
Life Insurance
As with an IRA, a charity may be listed as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. A charity may be listed as a primary beneficiary or a secondary beneficiary.
Charitable Lead Trust
This type of trust provides for a distribution to charity for a term of years, after which time the assets in the trust are generally distributed to the donor’s children or grandchildren as the remainder beneficiaries. The purpose of this type of trust is to make a gift to one’s family at a discounted value, while at the same time benefiting charity.
