Gifts to Pivotal represent an enduring commitment to foster youth and demonstrates that all young people deserve an opportunity to determine their own path. Legacy gifts made today make a difference tomorrow. We hope you will join us.
We gratefully accept many types of deferred or legacy gifts.
- Bequests: Donors may leave a portion of their estate to Pivotal in their will.
-
The following is an example of the language you can use when making a bequest in your will:

- Charitable Lead and Remainder Trusts: Charitable lead trusts operate for a set term, and payments are made to Pivotal for that time period. After the end of the trust term, the remainder of the trust is distributed to non-charitable beneficiaries—such as family members. A charitable remainder trust, in contrast, can provide a stream of income for family members for the term of the trust before the remaining assets are transferred to Pivotal.
- Life Insurance: Donors designate Pivotal as the beneficiary and the premiums paid by the donor are tax-deductible.
- IRA Rollover Gifts: Pivotal is eligible for IRA qualified charitable distributions.
