Ways to Give

Include a bequest in your will. You can make your bequest unrestricted or direct it to a specific purpose. You may even indicate a specific amount or percentage of the balance remaining in your estate. Your assets remain in your control during your lifetime and you can modify them for your changing circumstances.

Below is some sample language you can use in your will or trust.

"I give to America Media, a New York State non-profit corporation, headquartered in New York, New York, the sum of $_______ (or___% of my estate, or the property described herein) to be used for _______________(specify the purpose, e.g. unrestricted, a specific program, etc.)."

Tax ID Number: 13-1623828
Legal Name: America Press, d/b/a America Media Inc.

You can name America as a beneficiary of your donor advised fund. Designate America to receive all or a portion of the balance of your fund through your fund administrator. The balance in your fund passes to America when the fund terminates.

Naming America as the beneficiary of a retirement plan asset such as an IRA, 401(k), or 403(b) will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing a significant tax savings.

You can transfer stock to America. You will avoid paying capital gains tax and will receive a tax deduction.

A charitable remainder trust allows you to donate cash or appreciated assets and receive an annual payments as a fixed percentage of the trusts value. You’ll receive a tax deduction and the assets in the trust as exempt from capital gains tax.

If you're 70 1/2 or older, each year, you can instruct your IRA administrator to transfer all or part of your required minimum distribution (up to $100,000) directly to America and avoid paying the tax had you taken it as income.

Making a gift of life insurance allows you to transfer ownership of a paid-up life insurance policy to America. America elects to cash in the policy now or hold it.

Charitable Remainder Trusts provide you income from an asset that then passes to America as a gift. It provides income to America before the asset passes to your heirs. Charitable trusts can provide tax-advantaged income, eliminate capital gains, or preserve assets for your heirs.

A planned gift of real estate allows you to turn an asset into support for America and receive a charitable income tax deduction.
