Choose The Right Gift For You

Make a Difference Simply by Signing Your Name

ANSWER Scholarship supporters like you frequently tell us, “I wish I could do more.” You can! You can help support scholars for many years to come by simply naming the ANSWER Scholarship, Inc. as a beneficiary of any of these types of accounts:

  • Retirement Accounts
  • Life Insurance Policies
  • Bank or Brokerage Accounts
  • Certificates of Deposit
  • Donor Advised Funds

And it’s easy to do.

Retirement Account
Leaving a gift to ANSWER Scholarship through your retirement plan account (such as an IRA) is one of the most tax-wise gifts you can make. Most retirement plans are taxed differently than other funds. By leaving those gifts to ANSWER Scholarship and other less tax-burdened assets to your family, you can do more for your loved ones.

Certificates of Deposit, Bank and Brokerage Accounts, and Life Insurance Policies
Consider naming the ANSWER Scholarship as the beneficiary of a certificate of deposit, other bank or brokerage account, or a life insurance policy you no longer need.

Donor-Advised Funds
You can name ANSWER Scholarship as the beneficiary of donations remaining in your donor-advised fund after your lifetime.

Three Simple Steps: Just follow these simple steps to complete your gift by beneficiary designation:

  1. CONTACT your retirement plan administrator, bank, broker or insurance company and request a beneficiary form. This form—not your will—determines how these assets are distributed.
  2. WRITE in “ANSWER Scholarship, Inc.” as beneficiary [or partial beneficiary] using our federal tax identification number: 81-0834789 and current business address: 6420 Rea Road, Suite 112, Charlotte, NC 28277. If the form asks for a date of birth, use our date of incorporation: May 5, 2016.
  3. SIGN THE FORM AND RETURN it to your plan administrator. Keep a copy for your records. Contact us 704-544-1988 if you have any questions. We are always happy to hear from you.

Please tell us about your gift!

Some people leave a legacy gift to ANSWER Scholarship, Inc. without telling us. But we would welcome the chance to say thank you. And, your gift can inspire others to make a similar gift to the ANSWER Scholarship to help future generations of mothers succeed. We’re here to help. We can help you decide on a gift that’s right for you. To notify us of a legacy gift you have planned, or to discuss the best gift option for you, please contact us at 704-544-1988 or at [email protected].

Make The Most of Your IRA

If you are over age 70 ½, you can save on income tax when making donations to qualified charities, such as ANSWER Scholarship, Inc., directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

Gifts In Your Will

Leave a Gift that Costs You Nothing Now
You can take care of family first, and include ANSWER Scholarship to receive a specific amount or percentage of your estate. Or, name us a contingent beneficiary, so local mothers are next in line after your loved ones.
