Do You Want to Leave a Lasting Legacy?
Planned Giving through your will, IRA or Insurance may be for you!
Do you remember the first time you were inspired by nature and being outdoors?
Would you like others to have the same experience? Do you care about nature? If so, we invite you to make a legacy gift.
You can have impact that will last for generations. It can be as easy as designating The San Diego River Park Foundation as a beneficiary in your will.
You can direct these funds for specific purposes such as the Discovery Center, Open Space or Youth Education, or designate them for general support to give The San Diego River Park Foundation the greatest flexibility to meet future needs.
We would love the opportunity to discuss with you what inspires you and what you want your legacy to be.
Your commitment through a charitable planned or estate gift benefitting The San Diego River Park Foundation will qualify you for membership in the San Diego River Park Legacy Society. Of course, if you prefer, as many do, your commitment can remain anonymous.
Society members will be recognized in the San Diego River Discovery Center at Grant Park when it opens (scheduled for 2018-19) and in our annual report, plus all benefits as a Director Circle Member.
If you are interested in meeting to discuss your estate plan intentions and opportunities, please contact our President and CEO, Rob Hutsel, (619) 297-7380 x 108 or by email at rob@sandiegoriver.org.

If you are 70 1/2 years of age or older, this may be a wonderful way for you to support things you care about. Please contact your IRA advisor to learn how to take advantage of this opportunity to use your required distribution and turn it into a "tax-free" gift (up to $100,000 annually) that doesn't contribute to your federal Adjusted Gross Income. While it isn't eligible for a federal income tax charitable deduction, the benefits of not having the distribution count as income, can be significant.
Please contact your tax or legal advisor to learn more as this gift needs to be made directly from your IRA to The San Diego River Park Foundation. A check from your IRA needs to be made to "The San Diego River Park Foundation." If you like, you are welcome to personally mail or drop off your gift, but the funds must come directly from your IRA (that is, you can't get a distribution in your name and then write a personal check).
As a 501c3, The San Diego River Park Foundation is eligible to receive these gifts. Private foundations, donor-advised funds and other entities may not be. Please check with your IRA advisor if you have any questions. Thank you!
There are other means which you can support those things you care about. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
