Contact Lorie McCroskey about planned givingName WFDD or the WFDD Endowment as a beneficiary.
Many supporters choose to leave a planned gift to WFDD through a retirement account such as an IRA, 401(k), or 403(b). While these assets can be passed on to family members, they are often subject to significant taxes when inherited. For those planning to leave gifts to both family and charity, retirement assets can be one of the most tax-wise ways to name WFDD or the WFDD Endowment as a beneficiary—helping more of your hard-earned savings go to the people and causes you care about most, rather than to taxes
