A contribution to National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. is an investment in the future. We believe in NBCF because ... etc., etc. We chose to establish a charitable remainder
trust with NBCF because it will provide
us with an income for the rest of our lives and provided
good tax advantages at the time it was established. The remainder
will then be applied to our designated purposes at NBCF. Donor Name |

A few years ago we were contemplating moving from our house in Frisco. We considered several options. Because the house was located close to NBCF, and since housing in the Frisco area is in short supply, I wondered whether NBCF might be interested. Now, NBCF has
a property they use for housing. I received a generous charitable
deduction that I used in the year of my gift and have been
able to carry over the unused portion in subsequent years.
I received the satisfaction of helping NBCF in
a meaningful way. Donor Name |

This year we felt it was an occasion to express gratitude for the excellent vision and mission of NBCF. The opportunity for Val and me to receive
an income for life enabled us to make a meaningful gift.
We chose a Deferred Gift Annuity that begins payments to
us in a few years. Deferring our income gave us a higher
annuity rate and a larger charitable deduction. We also have
the option of extending the time when payments begin and
receiving an even higher rate. The gift-planning options
of NBCF are plentiful, enough to
meet almost every need. We recommend exploring the choices
available to you. Donor Name |

My wife, Karen (deceased) and I made our gifts because she had deep feelings of loyalty and affection for NBCF. I have come to love NBCF for the role it played in her life and continues to play in mine. As a resident of this town, I am constantly aware of the fine work NBCF always delivers. By creating a charitable remainder trust, we assured that I will receive a life time income, while having the satisfaction of knowing that in the future some deserving individual will benefit from our named mission.
