How to Plan Your Gift

All plans assure you a current income tax deduction. Some plans pay you an income for life. There are even plans that let you enjoy the use of a gift, such as your home, for your lifetime.

The Most Important
Benefit of All
We believe the most important reaon for considering a gift to United Research Society is your desire to advance our work. We have been sustained by people who felt a personal responsibility to support our efforts. Their special gifts have been an important factor in bringing the United Cancer Research Society to its present strong position.

We invite you to make a major gift that will endure indefinitely.

Perhaps you would rather retain a substantial asset at this time because of your own financial needs. That's understandable. Still, there are excellent alternatives that allow yhou to make a gift. You can make installment payments over several years, or you may prefer to include a major bequest to us in your will. These are time-honored ways of giving.

Another desirable method is known as deferred or planned giving. Planned giving encompasses various plans that are designed so that you (and a survivor, if you wish) enjoy the benefits of your intended gift during life. Many arrangements assure you a regular income after you transfer assets of your choice either to United Cancer Research Society directly or through a trust. If you'd rather deed to us a remainder interest in your home or other real property, you can retain full use of the property for life.

You receive a money-saving income tax deduction for a portion of the current value of your contribution. You will also avoid the tax on long-term capital gains on gifts of appreciated property.

You can actually increase your income when you give to a trust producing a higher yield than the property you donate. Some plans even enable you to receive part of the income tax-free.

You rid yourself of investment responsibilities and secure professional management on the assets you donate.
