Create a Legacy Gift

Through estate planning, you have the opportunity to establish a legacy that will last for generations, helping to ensure that all young people have the equitable access and support needed to achieve their education and career goals. Legacy gifts help us to build long-term financial stability for the programs we offer to our community of men.

Although there are many ways to leave a legacy at NWEdA, bequest and beneficiary designations are the most popular for their ease and simplicity:

Gifts in a Will

You can donate cash and/or appreciated stock, real estate, and personal property through your will by naming Northwest Education Access as your choice of beneficiary.

Beneficiary Designations

You can donate life insurance and/or retirement plans (IRAS and 401Ks) by designating Northwest Education Access as the beneficiary.

Please talk to your attorney or financial planner to determine what works best for you and your family. Often your advisor can show you options to give the same amount at lower cost, or how to give more to Northwest Education Access without increasing the cost of giving. See sample language here.

Charitable Remainder Trust

By using assets or cash to fund a trust, you will receive income and a tax deduction the year you transfer your assets. The remainder goes to Northwest Education Access after your lifetime or after a fixed period of time.
