Planned Giving: Leaving Your Legacy

You are an integral part of the future of Black Hills Works with your planned gift. Planned giving includes contributing noncash revenue, such as appreciated stock or real estate during your lifetime, creating a trust, or including Black Hills Works Foundation (EIN #46-0363653) in your estate plan.

Some donations, such as appreciated stock or charitable qualified distributions from your IRA, may offer significant tax advantages during your lifetime. Other strategies, such as naming the Black Hills Works Foundation as a beneficiary in your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy, cost nothing during your lifetime and may offer significant tax advantages to your family upon your passing.

Donor Advised Funds, initially set up with a sponsoring organization like the Black Hills Area Community Foundation, also offer immediate tax benefits, while benefiting the Black Hills Works Foundation over time.

Individuals who have included the Black Hills Works Foundation as part of their legacy plan become members of our distinguished Evergreen Society.

Guidance on some of these strategies is offered here. We highly recommend that you speak with your attorney or financial advisor before making any decisions with regard to planned giving. If you have general questions about the impact of your gift, or for help facilitating a planned gift, please contact us at [email protected] or 605-718-6274.
