Planned giving is one way that you can help ensure that NETWORK's prophetic voice for justice remains clear and strong throughout the 21st century and beyond!
Make sure that you and your financial advisor understand that NETWORK Lobby is designated as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit. Gifts to NETWORK are not tax deductible because NETWORK lobbies the federal government.
To Leave a Bequest

Retirement and Life Insurance Plans

To do this, simply request a "change-of-beneficiary" form from your plan's administrator. The form may ask for the Federal Identification Number, which you'll find in the bequest information above.
Trusts
Charitable trusts offer a way of supporting NETWORK Education Program while at the same time providing financially for yourself, your family or your heirs.
A charitable lead trust would provide payments to NETWORK Education Program during your lifetime; the trust principle would then go to your designated heirs. A charitable remainder trust would provide payments to you or someone you've designated during your lifetime; the trust principle would then go to NETWORK Education Program. Charitable trusts offer substantial tax benefits.
