The Eye to the Future legacy society honors individuals who choose to support the SD Lions Foundation through wills and other types of planned giving. In the SD Lions Foundation Endowment, the principle of the endowment stays untouched while the interest earnings are used to support programs such as the SD Lions Mobile Screening Unit and Individual Assistance Matching Grants.

Each gift is tax deductible as the Foundation, formed in 1964, is a non-profit corporation under Section 501C(3) of the IRS Code.

There are numerous types of planned gifts:

  • Bequest in a will or trust
  • As a beneficiary in an insurance policy or a retirement plan
  • A life income agreement
  • A life estate in property
  • Remainder interest in real estate
  • Charitable gift annuities
  • Charitable lead remainder trusts

There are many ways to maximize your gift and make a contribution that will last forever. Professional services are available to you and your tax planners concerning the best plan for your situation. Contact your financial advisor or the South Dakota Lions Foundation Office for more information.
