Planned Giving

Individuals who donate to FRIENDS have several options available in the Planned Giving Program

• Outright Gifts
• Gifts of Insurance and Remainder Trusts
• Charitable Gift Annuities
• Legacy Gifts (through your will)
• Anonymous Gifts

Planned giving employs tax, financial and estate planning techniques to enable a donor to make a substantial gift commitment to FRIENDS that provides significant tax and financial benefits for the donor.

Contact Jan Quinlan, FRIENDS Executive Director, at jquinlan@friendsofappletonlibrary.org if you are interested in contributing to any of these funds or in setting up a named designated fund to benefit the library.
