But for many of us, we ask, &#8220;What&#8217;s planned giving? Don&#8217;t I plan all of my gifts?&#8221; And while you may plan to give to Transy every year, you may not have started <em>estate planning<\/em> yet. Let&#8217;s discuss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. What is it? <\/strong>When we talk about planned giving, it basically refers to the different ways you can financially support Transy, either without making a direct cash (or card, check, Venmo, etc.<em>)<\/em> donation or after your passing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diana McKenzie &#8217;95, Transy\u2019s director of planned giving and associate director of regional advancement, reminds us, &#8220;It is a common misconception that planned giving is only for the extremely wealthy or older population. You\u2019re never too young to begin planning for your financial and charitable future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. What are the different ways?<\/strong> Well, it can vary based on preference, income, tax goals and more.

We know most people won&#8217;t have the means to make a &#8220;really big&#8221; gift in their lifetime, but planned giving is one way to make it possible. Maybe you consider listing Transy as a beneficiary on your life insurance or retirement plan. Or perhaps next time you speak with your financial planner, ask them about ways a gift to Transy can offset some of your tax costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to take advantage of one of these giving options, let the advancement office know.
