Legacy Giving

Wills, Bequests, and Estate Gifts

Including Ambassadors Football in your will or estate plan is one of the most meaningful ways to make a lasting difference. You can designate a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the residual value after other bequests are fulfilled.

Options Include:

• A specific bequest of a certain amount or asset.
• A percentage bequest to ensure your gift scales with your estate’s value.
• A residual bequest leaving the remainder of your estate after other distributions.
• A contingent bequest that only takes effect if primary beneficiaries are unable to inherit.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)

A donor-advised fund is a flexible and tax-efficient way to support Ambassadors Football. You can contribute to a DAF during your lifetime, receive an immediate tax deduction, and recommend grants to our ministry over time.

Benefits:

• Immediate tax deduction upon funding the DAF.
• Flexibility to recommend grants to Ambassadors Football and other charities.
• Option to name Ambassadors Football as the successor beneficiary of your DAF.

Non-Traditional Gifts

Beyond cash donations, you can leave a legacy through non-traditional assets that provide long-term support for Ambassadors Football's mission.

Options Include:

• Personal Property - Gifts of valuable personal property, such as vehicles, art, or collectibles, can be donated to benefit our programs.
• Life Insurance Policies - You can name Ambassadors Football as a beneficiary of an existing or new life insurance policy. This allows you to make a significant impact with a relatively small premium investment.
• Retirement Plans (401(k) and IRA Gifts) - By naming Ambassadors Football as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or other retirement accounts, you can avoid significant tax burdens while supporting our mission. Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from IRAs can also be made directly to our organization.
• Real Estate - Donating real estate—such as a home, vacation property, or farmland—can provide tax advantages while ensuring our work continues.
• Stocks and Securities - Gifting appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can provide tax benefits, including avoiding capital gains taxes and receiving a charitable deduction.
