Other Ways To Support
Planned Giving – Join Our Legacy Society
Planned gifts are typically made from assets in one’s estate, rather than disposable income, and come to fruition after your lifetime. Planned giving is an option for anyone who wants to leave a legacy regardless of their age and income without affecting cash flow during their lifetime.
Planned gifts can be simple and inexpensive to create, and can be established at any age! Examples of planned gifts include:
- Bequest in a will or estate
- Life Income plan (charitable remainder trust, charitable gift annuity, etc.)
- Beneficiary designation (IRA, 401k, life insurance policy, etc.)
Our Legacy Society will honor anyone who has made a documented planned gift to Women’s Impact Fund.
When designating Women’s Impact Fund as a recipient of a planned gift, please include our full organization name and Employment Identification Number (EIN) to ensure accuracy. Our EIN is 26-133584.
To make a planned gift to the Women’s Impact Fund, or if you have already included the organization in your estate
plans, please complete this form or contact the WIF office to share your information.
LEAP Fund
As part of our tenth anniversary in 2013, Women’s Impact Fund established the Leadership, Education, and Philanthropy (LEAP) Fund. The purpose of this restricted fund is to “strengthen the essential educational mission of Women’s Impact Fund by providing resources for speakers, staff support, technology enhancements, and other strategic initiatives.”
The LEAP Fund provides much-needed flexibility to take strategic leaps forward in our collective impact; disbursements require board approval. Efforts supported by the LEAP Fund include:
- Initial Spark Grant
- Executive Director Hiring & Transition
- Technology Investment & New Website
- Hosting Women’s Collective Giving Network (now Philanos) Conference in Charlotte
- Board Training & Development
The LEAP Fund differs from the Annual Fund in that the LEAP Fund is only raised during special occasions to replenish board designated funds used for specific strategic purposes. Most recently, we raised more than $85,000 during our 20th Anniversary year. We are not currently fundraising for the LEAP Fund, though we continue to benefit from the funds given today. Please contact the WIF office to learn more.
Other Assets
If you are interested in donating other non-cash or non-security assets, please contact the WIF office. Through our partnership with Foundation For The Carolinas, we are able to accept assets including real property, closely held business interests, and others. To give life insurance policies or retirement plan assets, please consider our planned giving opportunities.
