What is Legacy Giving? Also known as planned giving, legacy giving allows you to make a significant contribution to NUNM without affecting your current financial situation. These gifts are an opportunity to reflect your commitment to our mission while securing potential tax benefits for you and your loved ones.
Ways to Make a Legacy Gift
Bequests
Include NUNM in your will or living trust. Bequests can be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other bequests are fulfilled.
The National University of Natural Medicine’s federal tax ID number is: 93-0461940
Sample language for your will:
“I give, devise, and bequeath to National University of Natural Medicine (Tax ID: 93-0461940), located in Portland, Oregon, the sum of $_____ (or _____% of my estate) to be used for its general purposes.”
Retirement Plan or Life Insurance Beneficiary Designations
Designate NUNM as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy. This simple, tax-efficient option allows you to make a significant gift without modifying your will.
How to get started:
- Request a beneficiary designation form from your plan administrator.
- List “National University of Natural Medicine” as a primary or secondary beneficiary.
- Specify the percentage you wish to donate.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Set up a trust that provides income to you or your loved ones for life or a set term. The remaining assets are donated to NUNM to support our programs.
Benefits of a trust:
- Income for beneficiaries
- Tax advantages
- Support for future generations
