Did
You Know?
The American Red Cross is not a government agency and all American Red Cross
disaster assistance is free thanks to the generosity of people like you.
Ninety-one cents of every dollar spent by the American Red Cross goes directly
to programs and services that help people in need. What's more, the value of
your financial donation is increased by the fact that the ratio of volunteer
American Red Cross workers to paid staff is almost 41 to one.
Contributions to the American Red Cross, a tax-exempt organization under
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, are
deductible for computing income and estate taxes.

Central Florida Chapter helps to ensure the future of the services and programs
we provide throughout Alachua, Dixie, Gilchrist, Lafayette and Levy Counties and
may further your financial goals.
What are planned gifts?
Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts
of life insurance, pooled income funds, and charitable trusts.

Bequest
Many of our supporters make charitable gifts by naming the American Red Cross,
North Central Florida Chapter as a beneficiary in their wills.
Life Income Gift
You irrevocably transfer some assets to the American
Red Cross, North Central Florida Chapter now, and in return, you (and a
survivor, if you wish) receive income for life.
Gift of Life Insurance
Some of our supporters no longer need their life insurance, that was purchased
years ago to provide for children or other family members, and donate the policy
to the American Red Cross, North Central Florida Chapter.
Pooled Income Fund
Your gift of money, marketable securities, or both is invested together with
similar gifts from other supporters.
Charitable Lead Trust
Individuals with very large estates can use a charitable lead trust to benefit
the American Red Cross, North Central Florida Chapter and pass principal to
family members with little or no tax penalty.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Your IRA assets will be transferred to a charitable remainder trust,
the trust will provide life income to the beneficiary, and then an eventual gift
to the American Red Cross, North Central Florida Chapter.
Gifts to remember a loved one or friend…
A gift to the North Central Florida Chapter of the American Red Cross can be

honorariums have been received to honor a birthday, graduation, birth of a new
baby, anniversary, or a special occasion. The Financial Development staff can
assist you and an acknowledgement of this lovely tribute would be sent to the
recipients. For further information contact Debbie Branson, (352) 376-4669x14.
