Compare Gift Plans

Choose up to three gift plans that interest you to compare them and to learn more about how the plans can help you and the American Cancer Society.

Gifts Anyone Can Make

Gifts by Will or Living Trust
Give to the American Cancer Society without affecting your cash flow during your lifetime. Gifts of Retirement Plans
Your retirement plan may be worth more when donated to the American Cancer Society than to your heirs. Gifts from your Donor-Advised Fund
Make an outright gift from your donor-advised fund or name the American Cancer Society as the ultimate beneficiary of the remainder in the fund. Gifts of Appreciated Securities
After making a gift of appreciated securities to the American Cancer Society, the IRS will allow you one of its most significant tax breaks. Gifts of Life Insurance
Create a significant endowment for the American Cancer Society without dipping into your capital assets. Gifts of Real Estate
Make a substantial gift to the American Cancer Society through a transfer of residential, commercial or undeveloped real estate. Gifts of Personal Property
Donate books, artwork, or equipment and secure an income tax deduction.

Gifts That Pay You Back

Charitable Gift Annuity
Receive a fixed payout and significant tax benefits. Deferred Gift Annuity
Build retirement earnings by deferring the onset of annuity payments (recommended for younger donors). Charitable Remainder Unitrusts
Choose from several options that best meet your personal financial situation. Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts
Combine a charitable gift with a predictable fixed-income payout by placing your donation into an individually managed trust.

Gifts That Protect Assets

Charitable Bargain Sales
This part-gift/part-sale transaction gives you a charitable deduction plus cash to purchase other property. Retained Life Estate
You can donate your home to the American Cancer Society and continue to live there rent-free. Charitable Lead Trusts
Freeze the taxable value of your appreciating assets by using them to make gifts today and pass them back to family members later.
