Honorary and Memorial Gifts

A gift in honor/memory of a loved one, friend, or acquaintance is a considerate and generous way of recognizing someone dear to you. When you make an honorary or memorial gift, please accompany the gift with a note specifying the honoree’s name. We will oversee your donation seeing that it is administered as you wish and, if appropriate, we will send a note acknowledging the gift to an appropriate living family member. Please send your honorary or memorial gift to the location of your choice.The contact information for the resource development officers is provided at the end of this page.

Real Estate

If you donate real estate as an immediate gift, your gift provides you with a charitable deduction. TSTC will evaluate all real estate for its usefulness and/or marketability and for any potential environmental concerns. For more information, please contact Tara Odom. Her contact information is provided at the end of this page

Wills

Bequests to TSTC may be deducted from your taxable estate. A simple way to accomplish this is by executing a codicil (amendment) to your will. This simple signed, dated, and witnessed paragraph will be attached to your will without having to redraw the original. An amount, percentage, or remainder can be designated for TSTC and a purpose can also be stipulated for the use of the bequest. Please contact Tara Odom. Her contact information is provided at the end of this page.

Life Insurance

A donation of one’s life insurance policy is both superbly generous and quite beneficial for both parties involved. Here are some examples:

• Assign TSTC as the owner and beneficiary of a policy that is paid in full.
• Assign TSTC as the owner and beneficiary of a policy that is NOT paid in full and your policy's value, as well as your annual payments, may be tax deductible.

Please contact your insurance agent, attorney, and/or Tara Odom. Her contact information is provided at the end of this page.
