Planned Giving

Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for The Trust for the National Mall and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to preserve the historic legacy of the National Mall.

Choosing the right planned gift depends on your personal circumstances and financial goals:

Bequests and Estate Plan Gifts

You may make a bequest or gift through your estate by including a provision in your will or living trust, or by naming the Trust for the National Mall as a beneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy. The amount left to the Trust (or any charity) can be expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage of the assets to be given.

Gifts From Retirement Plan

Help protect both the National Mall and your heirs by making the Trust for the National Mall a full or partial beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plan. You may be surprised to find that the taxes applied to your retirement plan assets are different than you imagined—in fact, using retirement assets to make your donation and leaving other assets to your heirs often enables you to give more to your heirs.

Life Insurance Policy Gifts

You can name the Trust for the National Mall as primary beneficiary of your life insurance policy or as contingent beneficiary.

Donor Advised Funds

If you support multiple organizations or you want to secure a charitable deduction now but designate beneficiaries later, a donor advised fund (DAF) may work for you. They can be established with a number of entities, including community foundations, financial services companies and charities.

Those considering a planned gift should consult their own legal and tax advisors. Trust for the National Mall staff can also help answer any questions you have and will work with you to find a gift that best fits your unique situation. Please contact us at gifts@nationalmall.org.

Employer Gift Matching

Many employers offer matching gift programs that can double or even triple a donation's value. Check with your company to see if they will match your gift to the Trust for the National Mall.
