Planned Giving

Charitable IRA Contributions 

If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit the ASCP Foundation and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly without having to pay income taxes on the money.

This law no longer has an expiration date, so you are free to make annual gifts to our organization this year and well into the future. This transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit if you do not itemize your deductions. If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of this requirement.

Living Wills and Estates 

You want to leave money to the ASCP Foundation in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both. In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to the ASCP Foundation in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come.

Memorial Gifts 

If you have a loved one who has been impacted by pathology and laboratory medicine, the ASCP Foundation enables you to establish a memorial or tribute gift. This is a meaningful way to honor your loved ones or celebrate a special occasion such as a landmark birthday or practice anniversary while supporting the work of our mission.

Endowment Gifts 

An endowment gift to the ASCP Foundation today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at the ASCP Foundation. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
