If (insert name) is not living at the time of my demise, I give and devise to the Atlanticare Foundation, Inc (Tax ID #22-2148992), located in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, the sum of $ _______ (or all or a percentage of the residue of my estate) to be used for its general support (or for the support of a specific fund or program).
Retirement Plan Beneficiary Language
You may name the Atlanticare Foundation, Inc (Tax ID #22-2148992) 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 Atlanticare 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 heavy tax consequences. By naming the Atlanticare 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 Atlanticare Foundation, Inc free of both estate and income taxes.
Making a charitable gift from your retirement plan is easy and should not cost you any attorney fees. Simply request a change-of-beneficiary form from your plan administrator. When you have finished, please return the form to your plan administrator and notify the Atlanticare Foundation, Inc. We can also assist you with the proper language for your beneficiary designation to the Atlanticare Foundation, Inc.
