Leave your LEGACY

By joining our Pickleball for Good Legacy Society, your generosity will have a lasting ripple effect. 
 
Including Pickleball for Good in your will or estate plan is a reflection of your values, as well as a powerful intention to leave a legacy through the sport you love. What better way to feel legendary than to give tomorrow’s proud picklers the chance to thrive—on the court and in life?
 
There are also tax-smart ways to support our mission now through a planned gift.  Donating from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA), appreciated stock, or through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) are win-win strategies.

 

let our philanthropy team help you get started!

Pickleball for Good Legacy Society

bequests

Did you know that 2 out of 3 Americans do not have a valid will? Of this group, most have never created an estate plan or made plans for their legacy. Each state has its own laws that dictate how your assets are distributed, not you. It’s the most important document to ensure your wishes are honored.

Trusted platforms like FreeWill and LifeLegacy offer you a secure, low-fee, online tool that takes about 20 minutes to protect your loved ones and assets forever, as well as leave a legacy to the causes you champion (such as Pickleball for Good).

IRAs and Beneficiary Designations

Did you know that creating a valid will isn’t enough to legally protect the distribution of all your assets?  Non-probate assets include your IRA, 401(k), pension, life insurance policy, and certain bank and brokerage accounts.

If beneficiaries are properly set for these non-probate assets, ownership can transfer faster than your assets that must go through probate.

You also can join our Pickleball for Good Legacy Society by designating us as a beneficiary of any of these assets.

Tax-Smart Giving

While we recommend consulting with a professional tax or estate planning advisor, along with your loved ones, here are a few tips:

  • Gifting securities:

A donation of appreciated securities like stocks, bonds or mutual funds can be up to 20% more valuable than selling and donating the cash to a nonprofit like Pickleball for Good.  By saving on taxes on capital gains and taking the allowable tax deduction, you can make an even bigger impact on the causes you care about.

  • Donor-Advised Funds:

Commonly referred to as “DAF’s”, this giving vehicle is becoming extremely popular with donors of all ages. Their benefits include:

  • Flexibility:  DAFs allow you to plan your charitable giving while deferring the decision of which charities to grant to, and you can contribute as frequently as you like. You can donate cash as well as noncash assets such as real estate, artwork, cars, jewelry and business interests.
  • Efficiency:  Once the DAF is established, the sponsoring organization takes care of the administrative aspects of your giving, including processing your donations, tax reporting, and communicating with the nonprofits you’ve supported.
  • Tax Smart:  You receive an immediate tax deduction when you contribute to your DAF, and the assets in the DAF can be invested and the investment growth is tax-free.
  • Anonymity:  DAFs are a simple way to keep your identity private.
  • Start here:  Community foundations, financial institutions (including banks and brokerage), and national DAF sponsors are helpful if you’re interested in learning more.

If you already have a DAF, we can help you leave a pickleball legacy using this popular giving vehicle. Call Susan Swern at (833) 744-6631 / (833) P4GOOD1 or email us using the link below.

is a creator of possibility. You don’t just play the game, you change it.

quote

Sports is the common denominator in the world that brings everyone together. If there’s any one place in the world where there is equality, it is probably sports. That was something that didn’t always exist. We’ve come a long way in sports. Why can’t society use sports as a way to bring together and create change?”
