Planned Giving

If you are considering making a planned gift please contact the League or call 202-822-1333.

outright gifts

These are gifts of cash, appreciated securities or other interests. They provide timely and valuable resources to further the long-term mission of the League of American Bicyclists as well as generous charitable tax deductions.

Estate Gifts

These are gifts by will or living trust which must be pre-arranged with legal counsel. They also provide valuable resources to further the long-term mission of the League without interrupting your cashflow during your lifetime. They include:

• An explicit bequest of an amount of money or specific property (stocks, real estate, etc.)
• A percentage bequest listing the percentage of your estate you wish to leave
• A residual bequest for the remainder of your estate or a percentage of the remainder after you have made your specific bequests
• A contingent bequest naming the League as the recipient should another beneficiary not survive you

Charitable bequests are excluded from your adjusted gross estate for estate tax purposes. The League is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and our tax identification number is 36-6206225.

To make sure all legal requirements are met, it is important that you have an attorney draft or revise your will. The League of American Bicyclists cannot act as executor of a donor's estate.
