Your Legacy. JLR’s Future.
For generations, women have invested their time, talents, and resources in the Junior League of Raleigh.
Planned giving provides an opportunity to continue that tradition while helping ensure JLR remains a strong resource for women’s leadership and community impact for generations to come.
Whether you are considering a gift today or planning for the future, there are a variety of charitable giving options that may allow you to support the work that matters to you.
Ways to Make a Lasting Gift
Bequests Through a Will or Trust
One of the simplest ways to create a lasting legacy is to include the Junior League of Raleigh in your will or trust.
A bequest can allow you to support JLR in the future while maintaining control of your assets during your lifetime.
Retirement Assets
Retirement accounts may provide an opportunity to support JLR as part of your estate planning.
You may be able to name the Junior League of Raleigh as a beneficiary of all or a portion of an eligible retirement account.
Life Insurance
Life insurance can also be incorporated into a charitable giving plan.
Depending on your circumstances and the type of policy, JLR may be named as a beneficiary of an existing life insurance policy or included as part of a broader estate plan.
Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks, may provide another way to support the Junior League of Raleigh.
These gifts can be made during your lifetime or incorporated into your long-term charitable plans.
Real Estate and Personal Property
Certain real estate or other assets may also be considered as part of a charitable giving strategy.
Because gifts of property can involve additional considerations, we encourage you to speak with JLR and your professional advisers before making arrangements.
Charitable Trusts and Other Planned Gifts
Depending on your financial and philanthropic goals, additional charitable giving arrangements may be available, including certain charitable trusts and other planned giving vehicles.
These options can be more complex and should be explored with qualified financial, tax, and legal professionals.
