CONSIDER PLANNED GIVING
Create a Floodplain Management Legacy
The Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) Foundation provides an excellent opportunity for you to demonstrate your commitment to creating and sustaining a legacy in floodplain management now, and for many years to come. Through the Floodplain Management Legacy Program, you can direct your contributions to programs that reflect your passion by:
- Funding floodplain management and risk reduction research projects.
- Providing education, training, and certification of floodplain professionals.
- Supporting legislative and policy initiatives.
These are just a few ways in which you can tailor your contributions. We encourage you to reach out to Foundation trustees with your ideas and explore ways to help make them become a reality for a vital, sustainable future.
Planned giving through the Floodplain Management Legacy Program is a way for you to integrate your charitable gift into your overall financial, tax, and estate planning that results in benefits to you and to ASFPM Foundation. Depending on the path you choose, you may have the ability to:
- Reduce your income tax.
- Avoid or reduce capital gains tax.
- Increase your spendable income.
It is never too soon to plan your charitable contributions that will solidify your Floodplain Management Legacy and further demonstrate your passion and commitment. You can:
- Include a donation to ASFPM Foundation in your will or trust.
- Set up a charitable gift annuity that can provide you, as the donor, an annual income. The remaining funds in the annuity would be transferred to ASFPM Foundation upon your death.
- Use your donation to purchase a life insurance policy on yourself and name ASFPM Foundation as a beneficiary, or add the Foundation as a beneficiary to a current life insurance policy.
ASFPM Foundation encourages donors who are considering a contribution to seek their own legal and tax counsel before making a gift to the Foundation.
