By naming Rose Haven in your estate planning documents, you may be able to make a much larger gift than you thought was possible, while at the same time retaining control over your assets during your lifetime. You can adjust your gift if your life circumstances change and your gift to Rose Haven will not affect your finances during your lifetime.
Bequests
You can name Rose Haven as the recipient of your gift in your Will or revocable living trust in the following ways:
Life Insurance Policy
If you have a life insurance policy that you no longer need to provide for dependents, consider naming Rose Haven as the beneficiary. This would enable you to make a significant gift to Rose Haven without using any of your estate assets.
Another option is to make Rose Haven both the beneficiary and owner of a paid-up policy you no longer need. This option will provide you with an immediate income tax deduction equal to the current value of the policy. Contact the policy’s issuing agent for instructions about how to transfer ownership of your policy.
IRA or Retirement Plan
You can designate all or a portion of the balance of your retirement plan to support Rose Haven. If you name an individual as the beneficiary on your IRA account, the funds would be taxed heavily and the individual beneficiary would receive cents on the dollar.
By naming Rose Haven as the beneficiary, the full value of the account will pass to Rose Haven to be used to benefit homeless women and children of Portland.
To name Rose Haven the beneficiary of your life insurance policy or your IRA account, contact an agent from the institution and request a Beneficiary Designation Form. Enter the following information on this form.

Charitable Gift Annuity
By setting up a charitable gift annuity with Rose Haven you will receive fixed payments for your lifetime, an income tax deduction, and a portion of the payments you receive will be tax free. After your death, the money remaining in your annuity will support Rose Haven.
Charitable Remainder Trust
By setting up a charitable remainder trust (a “CRT”), you will receive payments for life or a term of years, an income tax deduction, and capital gains tax avoidance if funded with appreciated assets. To fund a CRT, you transfer an asset (cash,
appreciated stock, or real estate, for example) into a CRD to ultimately benefit Rose Haven. At the end of the trust term, the balance remaining in the trust is given to Rose Haven.
