Planned giving

Bequests 

A bequest in your will, naming PDX Diaper Bank as a beneficiary, is a simple way to support our future efforts to end Diaper Need. A bequest can be a gift of cash, securities, or another specified asset such as real estate.

If you have selected PDX Diaper Bank as a charity to support through your  planned giving process, thank you! We request that you complete and return the Bequest Intention Form below to: P.O. Box 22613, Portland, OR 97269 

Retirement Assets

Retirement assets may be one of the best to transfer as a charitable contribution because of their specific characteristics. In many cases, retirement assets can be the highest taxed asset of an estate, and a beneficiary may have to pay income tax on distributions received. Please consult your legal and/or financial advisor about the gifting of any type of retirement asset, profit sharing plan, a 401(k) or 403(b), or an IRA before taking action. You can make a tax-efficient gift and help PDX Diaper Bank provide diapers to those in need through a Charitable IRA.

Life Insurance

Life insurance policies are another asset suitable as a planned gift to the diaper bank. By donating a paid-up life insurance policy or designating PDX Diaper Bank as a beneficiary of a new policy, you can help the diaper bank continue its important mission well into the future.

Real Estate

Giving a gift of real estate, such as a personal home, vacation home, or undeveloped property, can be a highly effective philanthropic and financial strategy. Not only will the donation of real estate support PDX Diaper Bank’s mission, but will also provide the donor with potential federal tax deductions. By donating all or part of your real estate to PDX Diaper Bank, you may be able to reduce your capital gains tax or receive a tax deduction for the appraised value of your property.
