Create a Will

A simple directive included or added to your will designating a portion to the Legacy Campaign is a special and effective way of ensuring your Lasallian legacy. We have partnered with Free Will to provide you with a DIY online will builder. The easy-to-use Free Will tool walks you through each step and providing the option to allocate a percentage to LCBF.

Create Your Own Endowment or Donor-Designated Fund

Additional Ways to Contribute

Life Insurance

A life insurance policy that names LCBF as a beneficiary is a low-cost method of providing for our Lasallian future.

Charitable Remainder Trust

Earn income while supporting LCBF through a trust. Receive a tax deduction and leave the remainder to LCBF upon your passing.

Gift of Real Estate

A donation of real estate—whether a home, commercial property, or land—can make a transformative impact on the Lasallian mission while offering significant tax benefits. By donating real estate, you may receive a charitable tax deduction for the fair market value of the property and potentially eliminate capital gains tax.

Gift of Securities

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds is one of the most tax-efficient ways to support the Lasallian mission. By making a direct transfer of securities to LCBF, you may avoid capital gains taxes and receive a deduction for the full fair market value of your gift.

IRA Charitable Rollover

(Qualified Charitable Distribution – QCD)

If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA to LCBF. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) while avoiding income tax on the withdrawal.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF)

A Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to support the Lasallian Legacy Endowment through a flexible charitable giving account. Recommend a grant to LCBF from your DAF and make an immediate impact.

Charitable Gift Annuity

Establish a contract with LCBF that provides a lifetime of fixed-income payments and a tax deduction while supporting student financial aid. Fund it with cash or securities, and the payments will be backed by the institution’s assets.
