Make a Planned Gift

Making a planned gift is a truly efficient and effective way to make a substantial gift to Braille Institute. Planned gifts allow you to maximize the personal benefits of your charitable giving, while allowing you to minimize your income, estate, capital gains or gift tax liabilities. Braille Institute is approved to issue charitable gift annuities to residents of California only.

In addition to a one-time gift, we offer several plans that allow you to transfer assets, yet continue to receive the income you need, plus receive tax benefits. Following are some of the more popular ways you can give a charitable donation to Braille Institute.
