Ways to Give
Wills and Living Trusts
You want to leave money to BrightFocus Foundation or one of its programs in your will. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.
Beneficiary Designated Gifts
Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets is an excellent way to make a gift.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A gift made to our organization that can provide you with a secure source of fixed payments for life.
Gift of Stock
Donating appreciated securities (stock) is an easy and tax-effective way for you to make a gift.
Charitable Lead Trust
If you are looking for a way to pass on some of your assets to your family while reducing or eliminating gift or estate taxes, a charitable lead trust is an excellent option.
IRA Charitable Giving
If you are 70½ or older you can reduce your taxable income, meet your required minimum distribution (RMD), and help find cures for disease of mind and sight all at the same time.
