Give a portion or all your estate to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund through your will or trust. This is called a bequest, and there are several ways to structure it.

Specific Bequest. This specifies an exact dollar amount or a specific item of property that you leave to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund. The language in a will for such a gift would read, for example, “I bequeath $5,000 to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund” or “I bequeath my vacation home to the Tile Heritage Endowment.”

Residuary Bequest. Using this bequest structure, you can leave specific assets to loved ones while giving the remaining or “residuary” amount to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund. For example, “After all other gifts, I bequeath the remainder of my estate to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund.”

Contingent Bequest. You can designate the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund as a contingent beneficiary in case of a certain event. For example, “I give 5% of my estate to my friend Mary Jones, if she survives me, or if not, to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund.”

Name the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund as a beneficiary of either an existing policy or a new policy that you purchase for this purpose. In either case, a portion of your premiums may be immediately tax deductible, depending on your situation. The Endowment Fund won’t receive the gift until your death.

You can make the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund the beneficiary of your life insurance policy by completing a “Change of Beneficiary” form from your insurance company. List the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund, c/o the Tile Heritage Foundation (Tax ID: 68-0135531), as the beneficiary on the form of all or a portion of the policy’s value.

Retirement assets, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and 401(k)s, have typically enjoyed tax-free growth over a long period. Compared to other assets, they can be the most tax-burdened assets to leave to your heirs. This makes them ideal for charitable giving.

To gift your remaining retirement assets, list the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund, c/o the Tile Heritage Foundation (Tax ID:68-0135531), as a beneficiary of your account. You can often make this change by requesting a “Change of Beneficiary” form from your retirement account administrator.

Similar to leaving retirement assets to the Tile Heritage Endowment, you can name the Endowment Fund as the “transfer on death (TOD)” or “pay on death (POD)” beneficiary for all or a percentage of a bank account, brokerage account, or certificate of deposit. In many states, TOD beneficiaries can receive the assets without having to go through probate.

As with other planned giving tools, a TOD designation allows you to retain full control over the assets during your lifetime. You also can change the beneficiary or close the account at any time. Funds will only transfer to the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund after your death if the designation is still in place.

Rules vary slightly by state, but you can typically contact your bank or brokerage firm and request a beneficiary form, or TOD form, that allows you to name the Tile Heritage Endowment Fund, c/o the Tile Heritage Foundation (Tax ID:68-0135531), as a beneficiary of your account(s) upon your death.
