  • Quick and simple process:<\/strong> Just request a QCD form from your IRA administrator and specify EmpreSomos as the recipient.<\/li><\/ul>

    Why it matters:<\/strong>
    QCDs are one of the most tax-efficient ways to give<\/strong>, allowing you to support EmpreSomos now while reducing your tax burden.<\/p>

    \ud83c\udfe6<\/strong> Beneficiary Designations<\/strong><\/p>

    • Bank or brokerage accounts (POD\/TOD designations)<\/li><\/ul>

      Why it\u2019s simple:<\/strong><\/p>

      • You don\u2019t need to update your will or hire a lawyer.<\/li>

          • A specific dollar amount<\/strong><\/li>
          • A percentage of your estate<\/strong><\/li>
          • The remainder after family and loved ones are cared for<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

              • No extra administration required on our side.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>

                Why it matters:<\/strong>
                These gifts are private<\/strong>, avoid probate delays, and let you direct your legacy<\/strong> exactly how you want.<\/p>

                Sample language for a will or trust:<\/strong><\/p>

                \u201cI bequeath to EmpreSomos, a nonprofit organization located at [EmpreSomos address], the sum of $____ (or ____% of my estate) for its general use and purpose.\u201d<\/p>

                TO KEEP IN MIND: <\/strong><\/p>
