Types of Planned Gifts

  • bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift be made to family, friends, or River Bend Food Bank as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form. We are happy to provide sample language to discuss with your attorney – please contact us.
  • An IRA Rollover can help you meet your required minimum distribution (RMD) each year, reduce your taxable income, and help end hunger in our community. If you’re 70 1/2 or older, contact your IRA plan administrator to set up a transfer.
  • beneficiary designation gift is a simple way to support River Bend Food Bank. By including River Bend Food Bank as a beneficiary of a retirement or investment account or life insurance policy, you can make an impactful gift after your lifetime to further the Food Bank’s work to end hunger in our community.

Other gift options are available that can provide tax benefits while supporting the work of ending hunger. Contact your financial advisor or estate manager to determine the option that best meets your wishes.
