Planned gifts allow you to help support the mission of Yad Vashem, while helping you plan for the future or retirement, generate income, and receive great tax benefits. You can fulfill your financial and retirement goals while supporting Yad Vashem's work.

• Wills and Bequests: Remember the American Society for Yad Vashem in your will and provide an important legacy for you and your family, while providing for future generations. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of remaining amount, a residuary, a particular asset such as stocks, bonds, real estate or tangible personal property.
• Charitable Gift Annuities: In return for a donation to the American Society for Yad Vashem you can receive a lifetime annuity — a fixed amount of income with a potential for favorable tax benefits. Our professionals will work with you to create a charitable gift annuity that meets your philanthropic goals.
• Charitable Lead Trusts: When you entrust the American Society for Yad Vashem with your assets for a fixed term, you can potentially create the best financial situation for your estate's beneficiaries.
• Charitable Remainder Trusts: Make a gift that will provide a fixed rate of return for a predetermined amount of time. At the conclusion of the term, the remainder becomes a charitable gift to the American Society for Yad Vashem.
• Supporting Foundations: Create a supporting foundation affiliated with the American Society for Yad Vashem and get all the benefits of a private foundation without having to worry about the administrative details. Our professionals manage the foundation, leaving you and your family free to participate in the grantmaking process.
• Endowment Funds: When you establish an endowment fund at the American Society for Yad Vashem, you create a lasting way of supporting the cause of Holocaust Remembrance, during your lifetime and beyond.
• Gifts of Life Insurance: Create permanent support for the American Society of Yad Vashem through a gift of life and generate an income-tax charitable deduction for yourself.
  

Making a gift of $100,000 or more will ensure that your name will appear on the Wall of Honor at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.

Other contributions are welcome, and will be acknowledged as well.
