Including LoveYourBrain in your Planned Giving can be a meaningful and significant way to ensure our programs continue to serve and support the millions who need us.

Other Planned Giving Considerations
Retirement Assets
You can name LoveYouBrain as the beneficiary or contingent beneficiary of your retirement assets after your lifetime. When a retirement account is left to a nonprofit, the organization does not pay any income tax. Your retirement plan’s administrator can provide a beneficiary form for you to name LoveYourBrain as your sole or partial beneficiary.
Life Insurance
Life insurance can be an asset that you can use to support LoveYourBrain. You can add LoveYourBrain as a beneficiary to your insurance policy without changing your will or other aspects of your estate plan. Contact your insurance company to learn more about this process.
