LEGACY GIFTS BUILD ENDOWMENT
Legacy giving is the best way to build endowment and long-term resources for AHA. An endowment is a pool of money that is set aside and invested. AHA can draw from the earnings to support current programs, but the original pool remains in place and grows over time. So this source of support can continue – forever.
We support AHA for many reasons, including the responsibility to pay back. Both Kathy & our seven children benefited greatly from their days at AHA: in their faith life, in academics, with life-long relationships, and through activities they enjoyed. In these times, more than ever before, we need to make sure this kind of education opportunity continues for all.
Making our donations through our IRA has turned out to be an easy, cost-effective way for us to give now. Giving through our IRA decreases our taxes AND allows us to make larger donations.

More ways to make an impact
Gifts in a will or trust
Donations in your will or trust are (by far) the most popular type of planned gift. Learn more, or get help starting your will (for free!).
Beneficiary designations
Gifting assets not covered by your will — like 401(k) or IRA accounts — may help your heirs avoid unwanted taxes, even if you’re below the estate tax threshold.
Gifts that pay you back
Give assets while providing yourself or others with income for a period of time or distributions at a later date.
