You can help us fund new research into the origins and function of Alzheimer’s, in the hope that the knowledge we gain will lead to the treatments we need to stop the disease – while earning an income from your gift.
As a Cure Alzheimer’s Fund supporter, you can create a true, lasting difference in the world with a gift that makes an impact now, or a gift that will create your enduring legacy of eliminating Alzheimer’s disease. Working together, we can relieve the physical, emotional and financial burden of the illness for millions of people throughout the world.
There are many ways to be a part of the solution to find a cure. It is through your support that we move a little closer every year to understanding Alzheimer’s disease – and finding a cure.
You can learn more about these special opportunities in our free brochure, Gifts That Pay You Income, and other complimentary planning resources. These resources are just a click away!
Charitable Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities (CGAs) offer a secure, fixed payment stream for yourself and/or a loved one for your lifetime(s). You will also receive tax benefits and the satisfaction of creating a lasting legacy through Cure Alzheimer’s Fund.
How it works:
- You donate cash or appreciated securities worth $20,000 or more to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. In return, you and/or another beneficiary will receive fixed payments for life.
- Your payment rate is based on your age (payments start at age 50 or later) and will never change.
- A portion of your payments will be tax-free.
- The older you are — or the longer you defer starting your payment — the higher your payments will be.
Benefits to you include:
- Lifetime payments that will never change.
- Capital gains tax savings when you fund your CGA using appreciated stock.
- You are eligible for an immediate charitable income tax deduction.
- Your gift passes to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund outside of the estate process.
- You create your legacy of supporting the world’s leading scientists researching Alzheimer’s disease so that together we can find a cure.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) is a tax-free trust that pays you and/or other beneficiaries an annual distribution. This payment is either a percentage of the annual value of the trust, or a percentage of the original gift amount.
How it works:
- You transfer cash or an appreciated asset* into an irrevocable trust.
- The trustee then sells the asset, paying no capital gains tax, and reinvests the proceeds.
- For the rest of your life (or a term of years), you and/or another beneficiary receive payments from the trust.
- After your lifetime, the remaining principal is used to support the mission of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund.
Benefits to you include:
- You receive income for life for you or your heirs.
- You receive a charitable income tax credit for the charitable portion of the trust.
- You create your legacy of helping to put an end to this devastating disease.
*While donating real estate is the most common way to fund a charitable trust, a wide variety of assets can be used, including cash, appreciated publicly traded or closely held stock, as well as oil, gas or mineral interests.
See Your Impact
“The support from Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has enabled us to explore
high-risk, high-reward topics that would not be funded by more
traditional funding mechanisms, but hold the potential to make a
transformative difference in both our understanding as well as the
treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.” —JOHN R. LUKENS, Ph.D.
