Ways to Make a Legacy Gift
NCF makes it simple to give non-cash assets with significant tax advantages — often allowing you to give more than you thought possible.
Wills & Trust Gifts
A bequest through your will or living trust is one of the simplest and most impactful ways to leave a legacy. You retain full control of your assets during your lifetime — your gift takes effect only after you are gone.
- Designate a specific dollar amount or percentage of your estate
- Name Pathways Clinic as a beneficiary alongside your family
- Can be updated or changed at any time
- May reduce estate tax liability for your heirs
Suggested language: “I give to Pathways Partners, a Washington nonprofit, [amount / percentage] of my estate to be used for its charitable purposes.”
IRA Beneficiary Designation
Naming Pathways Clinic as a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA or retirement account is often the most tax-efficient legacy gift available. Unlike your heirs, a charitable organization receives these funds 100% tax-free.
- Avoid income tax your heirs would otherwise owe on inherited IRAs
- Simple to set up — just update your beneficiary designation form
- Does not require changes to your will
- Works with 401(k), 403(b), and other qualified plans
Contact your plan administrator to request a beneficiary designation change form. Use our EIN: 91-1689705.
Real Estate & Property
Gifting appreciated real estate through NCF can be one of the most powerful giving strategies available — allowing you to avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable deduction for the full fair market value.
- Eliminate capital gains tax on the sale of appreciated property
- Receive a charitable deduction for the full appraised value
- NCF handles all the details of the transfer and sale
- Works with homes, land, rental property, and commercial real estate
NCF can facilitate the gift from start to finish. Contact us to be connected with an NCF advisor.
Vehicles & Other Assets
Have a car, boat, RV, or other asset you no longer need? NCF can accept a wide range of personal property on our behalf, turning unused assets into life-affirming care.
- Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, and RVs
- Business equipment and inventory
- Cryptocurrency and digital assets
- Intellectual property and royalties
NCF’s team handles all valuation, transfer paperwork, and provides your tax documentation.
Are You 73 or Older? Your IRA Can Do More.
$105,000 Maximum annual IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (2024)
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to Pathways Clinic — satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution while completely excluding the gift from your taxable income. This is one of the most powerful and underused tax strategies available to retirees.
Unlike a regular charitable deduction, a QCD reduces your adjusted gross income directly — which can lower your Medicare premiums, reduce taxation of Social Security benefits, and keep you in a lower tax bracket.
