Other Ways to Give

Securities

If you have stocks or mutual funds that have appreciated, giving them to the Latin American Association may allow you to avoid capital gains taxes while securing a tax deduction for yourself for the full value of the gift.

To make a gift of securities, please contact our Development Office at 404-638-1815 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Planned Gifts

Many people choose to support the Latin American Association by making a provision in their estate plans to support the Association. Gifts from an estate to the Latin American Association are free of federal estate taxes. Certain types of gifts, such as charitable lead trusts, allow you to give property to the Latin American Association without being subject to gift taxation. Under this type of plan, the Latin American Association enjoys the benefit of your gift for a number of years before the gift passes to your heirs, free from the burden of estate taxes. Conversely, charitable remainder trusts also relieve you of federal gift and estate taxes, enabling the gift to pass to the Latin American Association at the end of your life. Other provisions include traditional bequests of property in a will or including the Latin American Association as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

Gifts of cash, securities, personal, and real property–such as your home–are all possible under the plans described above. You may also choose to add the Latin American Association as a current or deferred beneficiary of an IRA or 401(k). Planned gifts are a wonderful way to make a gift to the Latin American Association, but are complex provisions with legal and tax consequences. We advise you to contact your legal or tax advisor to create such gifts.  You are, of course, welcome to contact us with any questions at (404) 638-1815.

Please let us know if you have made a bequest to the Latin American Association so we can welcome you to the Latin American Association Legacy Circle.
