Giving Through Retirement Plans<br />
Retirement plans like IRA, 403(b)s,<br />
401(k)s, <strong>and</strong> other qualified<br />
plans help contribute to a secure<br />
financial future for many Americans.<br />
Most people, however, are unaware of<br />
how severely their retirement plans are<br />
taxed when given to a child, friend or<br />
relative after death. As a result, retirement<br />
plan proceeds make the perfect<br />
charitable gift to leave to a non-profit<br />
organization like <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> <strong>and</strong> SPCA.<br />
You can direct in advance that all or<br />
part of your retirement assets be designated<br />
to the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> <strong>Humane</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> SPCA, <strong>and</strong> it’s easy to do. Just ask<br />
your plan administrator for a “change<br />
of beneficiary” form <strong>and</strong> indicate the<br />
amount or percentage to be used for<br />
charitable purposes at your death.<br />
You might also find it good tax<br />
planning to make current gifts from<br />
your retirement plan if you are at a<br />
point in life when you can withdraw<br />
funds without an early withdrawal<br />
penalty. Of course, we always suggest<br />
you consult your attorney or financial<br />
advisor prior to completing such gifts.<br />
Our free information booklet, Giving<br />
Through Retirement Plans, may help<br />
you. To request a free copy of this<br />
booklet, simply complete <strong>and</strong> return the<br />

As an organization that relies on<br />
charitable gifts to continue its programs<br />
serving animals <strong>and</strong> people, we are most<br />
grateful for your ongoing, generous<br />
support.<br />
