How Much to Give?

LEAVE A LEGACY™ Iowa encourages everyone from all walks of life to remember a worthy cause with a gift through his or her estate. Often such gifts are assumed to be for the wealthy; however, the reference chart below reveals that it is possible for most everyone to leave a meaningful estate gift that could perpetuate annual support for generations to come. This chart is helpful in determining what amount it would require to perpetuate your current annual fund gift beyond your lifetime through your will or some other form of planned gift.

* The amount required assumes an annual investment return of 5%. Refer to the Guide for Planned Giving for more information.
