Gifts from Retirement Plan
You may name the Bradenton Kiwanis Foundation, Inc. as a beneficiary of your IRA or other qualified retirement benefits. Donors should consult with their tax advisor regarding the tax benefits of such gifts. Naming the Bradenton Kiwanis Foundation, Inc. as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh or profit-sharing pension plan will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings. It can be costly to pass such assets on to heirs because of substantial tax consequences. By naming the Bradenton Kiwanis Foundation, Inc. as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, the donor maintains complete control over the asset while living, but at the donor's death the plan passes to support the Bradenton Kiwanis Foundation, Inc. free of both estate and income taxes. Making a charitable gift from your retirement plan is easy. Simply request a change-of-beneficiary form from your plan administrator.
