A pledge is a commitment to make a gift over a period of time through scheduled payments. You choose the amount, timeline, and flexible payment plan that works best for you.

What is a pledge exactly?

A pledge is a non-binding promise to donate a specific amount over a set period. It helps us plan our long-term projects with confidence.

Can I change my pledge later?

Of course. Life happens. You can adjust the amount or timing of your gift at any time by contacting our donor relations team.

Is my pledge tax-deductible?

Yes, your contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You will receive a formal receipt once the funds are transferred.

Choose Your Payment Method

Pledge payments can be made both digitally and through mail.

What is planned giving?

Planned giving involves providing a future gift to a 501(c)(3) organization through your financial and estate planning. FC DELCO welcomes gifts made through various planned giving arrangements.

• Enable you to leave a legacy for FC DELCO.
• May entitle you to charitable income and/or gift or estate tax deductions.

Bequests

A bequest allows you to include a charitable gift in your will or estate plan, providing a meaningful way to support JT Dorsey and its mission for future generations. Bequests can be structured as a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or designated property.

• General — A gift made from the general assets of your estate
• Demonstrative — A gift made from a specific source, such as a designated bank account
• Specific — A gift of a particular asset, such as cash, property, a vehicle, artwork, or jewelry
• Residuary — A gift made from the remaining estate after debts, expenses, and other distributions have been fulfilled

Bequests allow you to make a lasting impact without affecting your finances during your lifetime and may provide certain estate tax benefits.

Retirement Plans

Retirement assets, including IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and certain pension plans, may provide opportunities to support JT Dorsey as part of your charitable and estate planning.

• Eligible donors may make qualified charitable distributions directly from certain IRA accounts
• Qualified distributions may count toward required minimum distributions when applicable
• Retirement assets may also be designated to a charitable organization through beneficiary planning

Life Insurance

Life insurance can provide another way to make a meaningful future contribution without significantly affecting your current finances. Donors may name JT Dorsey as a beneficiary of all or a portion of an eligible life insurance policy, allowing the designated proceeds to support JTDF’s mission in the future.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is an agreement between a donor and a qualified charitable organization that provides the donor or designated annuitant with regular payments for life in exchange for a charitable gift.

Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts (CRAT)

A CRAT allows a donor to place assets into an irrevocable trust that provides fixed payments to designated beneficiaries for life or a specified period. The remaining assets are then transferred to the designated charitable organization.

Charitable Remainder Unitrusts (CRUT)

A CRUT is an irrevocable charitable trust designed to provide payments to designated beneficiaries while ultimately supporting a chosen charitable organization. It may also offer financial and tax-planning benefits depending on the donor’s circumstances.

Pooled Income Funds

A pooled income fund combines charitable gifts from multiple donors for investment purposes. Donors may receive income during their lifetime and potentially qualify for a partial charitable deduction, with the remaining portion of the gift ultimately benefiting the designated charity.

Charitable Lead Trusts

A charitable lead trust is an irrevocable trust designed to reduce a beneficiary’s potential transfer taxes while donating to charity for a set period of time before the balance passes to noncharitable beneficiaries.

Retained Life Estates

A retained life estate allows a person to donate their home or real property while continuing to live in it for life. The donor receives an immediate income tax deduction but remains responsible for property tax, maintenance, and insurance.
