Retirement Plan Beneficiary

You may name Pilchuck Audubon as a beneficiary of your IRA or other qualified retirement plans: a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh or profit sharing pension plan. Donors should consult with their tax advisor regarding the tax benefits of such gifts. Naming Pilchuck Audubon as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings. It can be costly to convey such assets to individual heirs because of substantial income and estate taxes due on the distribution. By naming Pilchuck Audubon, the donor maintains complete control over the asset while living, and at the donor's death, a portion or all of the remaining principal in the plan passes to support Pilchuck Audubon without estate or income taxes.

Making a charitable gift from your retirement plan is easy and should not cost you any attorney fees. Simply request a change of beneficiary form from your plan administrator, complete the form, return it to your plan administrator and send a copy to Pilchuck Audubon.
