Planned Giving • A Will or Living Trust - A will or living trust can ensure that your final wishes are carried out exactly as you wish. By leaving some or all of your estate to Aid For AIDS, you are assured that those in need will continue to be helped. • A Gift of Life Insurance - With life insurance, you can make a gift in one of two ways: by naming Aid For AIDS as a beneficiary, or by donating the policy itself to Aid For AIDS. The latter option provides an immediate tax benefit; both options can be carried out at little or no cost to you. • A Gift of Investments, Checking, Savings, or Retirement Accounts - You can designate Aid For AIDS as your beneficiary on a variety of financial accounts such as those listed above, which will give Aid For AIDS immediate access to the funds upon death. The forms can be easily obtained from your financial institution or brokerage house. • Gifts of Real Estate - Any real estate can be given outright to Aid For AIDS. Or you may donate your residence or vacation home and still retain the right to live there for the rest of your life or the life of a friend or loved one. • A Charitable Gift Annuity - A charitable annuity may be established through your will or living trust to provide steady income for a friend or loved one for the rest of his or her life. The principal becomes the property of Aid For AIDS upon death, and will ensure the continued support and assistance provided by Aid For AIDS to those in need. To participate in a planned giving option, contact Rafael Cosio at (323) 344-4880, or info@aidforaids.net for more information.
Be In The Loop
What is The Loop? The Loop of Aid For AIDS is an exclusive society of donors who commit to a continuing minimum of $1,000 or more per year in unrestricted support for the mission of AFA. This network of friends sustains the ability of Aid For AIDS to provide direct financial assistance to prevent homelessness and hunger and to improve quality of life and independent living for those impoverished and disabled by HIV/AIDS. How Does My Support Help? Aid For AIDS is very proud of its ability to continue to direct 90% of its budget toward client programs. Since its founding in 1983, AFA has directly touched the lives of more than 16,000 men, women, children, and families. How Can I Join The Loop? Any unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more qualifies you for membership in The Loop. Gifts can be made by check, credit card, or stocks/securities when paying in one lump sum. If you prefer, credit card donations can also be divided into installments for your convenience. If your employer offers a company match, corporate matching gifts are credited to the individual in whose name they are given and counted toward The Loop membership. Special event tickets or auction item purchases do not count toward The Loop membership. What Are The Benefits? As a member of The Loop, you will receive: • Invitation to special Loop or AFA invitation-only events; • Advance notice of special fundraising events hosted by AFA; • Special annual recognition at www.aidforaids.net; • Listing as a major donor and The Loop member in the AFA newsletter; and • AFA Loop lapel pin. return to top return to AFA home page	What If I Give More?

The Development staff of the agency will be happy to work with you to determine what level is most comfortable for your personal philanthropy. • Making Aid For AIDS a beneficiary of your estate through your will or a living trust is a great way to ensure ongoing funding for AFA’s programs. A bequest through your will or living trust allows you to support the organization while retaining complete control over your assets during your lifetime. You can make a specified dollar amount bequest or a donate all or a portion of your estate to our organization. The savings from estate tax could be considerable. • You can also designate AFA as a beneficiary of your life insurance—whether it’s a personal policy or coverage through your employer. • A life income gift (through the use of a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust) is another option.
