Sustainable Giving
In addition to making outright gifts of cash or securities that immediately benefit IDEA, many supporters understand the need to help secure IDEA’s financial future. Your financial support and IDEA’s innovative projects and program provide long-term benefits to society through developing more educational exhibits that can be used by students worldwide and by designing new technologies that help people find information. In a world where information is reduced to sound bites, and where the gap between information "haves" and "have-nots" is ever increasing, your support of IDEA means sustaining an organization that is at the vanguard of new and practical uses of technology for education.
Large gifts give IDEA the deep funding it needs to continue and broaden the scope of its programs and projects, while also offering significant tax advantages. Through careful planning and consultation with your attorney, financial advisor, or estate planner, your planned gift may also enable you to give more IDEA than you ever thought possible, while still providing for your family.
Your philanthropic and financial goals can be accomplished in a number of ways, including:
- Make a bequest in your will or living trust
- Donate retirement funds by making IDEA the beneficiary recipient of your 401(K), 403(b), Keogh, IRA, or other qualified pension plan
- Contribute life insurance policy proceeds
- Create a charitable remainder trust
- Donate property
If you include IDEA as beneficiary of your planned giving philanthropy, please let us know. You can email us, call us at 202.352.2235, or write to us:
