Legacy Giving / Planned Giving
Planned Giving, Legacy or Estate Giving, is planning your estate so a portion of your wealth is donated to a charity. This donation may also occur during your lifetime. The charity is usually one that resonates with you for its cause or its effect on you or your career. Allocating a portion of your estate is intended to support the values and programs of the charity in a profound way.
Many ASES members view the ASES society as their family and instrumental to their career success. They want the society to flourish and early career shoulder and elbow surgeons to be successful. They also want to maintain the excellence in meetings and education. Furthermore, members see research is key to the innovation and progression of shoulder and elbow care resulting in positive outcomes for patients. Supporting ASES Foundation directly supports its three pillars–Early Career programs, Education and Research.
The ASES Foundation offers ASES members, family and friends some simple estate planning options which can be used for Planned Giving in addition to Major Giving. These options may provide your estate or you with tax benefits by donating to The ASES Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit.
Please see below the ASES Foundation Legacy Giving options and comparison of vehicles. If you have any questions or wish to execute one of these options to support the ASES Foundation, please contact Robert Harkey, Manager, Development and Operations, ASES Foundation at rharkey@asesfdn.org or call 847- 957-1376.
Kind Regards
ASES Board of Trustees
