How Will You Be Remembered? Join the Heritage Society and Include FCER in Your Estate Planning You are successful. You have earned respect for your professional and personal achievements from your family, friends, colleagues, and community. People appreciate you today for who you are and for what you're doing. But do you ever wonder... "How will I be remembered?" With good planning, you will be remembered as one who cared, helped, and thought of others. You can take charge of your future, and how people will remember you. You will feel much personal joy and satisfaction when you make provision in your estate plan so that you positive influence will continue forever. Many chiropractic clinicians and other friends of chiropractic care have joined the FCER Heritage Society, by making a bequest to the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research. When you review your estate plan, consider including a bequest that will provide a future gift to the Permanent Endowment Fund of FCER. You can feel good today about a gift you will make in the future. You can enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that a bequest in your will, trust, insurance policy, or other estate plan--no matter what the amount--will help FCER improve the quality of patient care. Like other members of the Heritage Society, listed in every issue of FCER Advance magazine, you will be recognized as one who is doing much for humanity by strengthening the future growth and development of chiropractic. Your gift will help perpetuate the profession's advancement. And, the immediate recognition you will receive from FCER will be a reminder that you are greatly appreciated and will always be remembered for your generosity. It will be your special legacy. Types of Planned Giving Tribute: In your name, or the name of a loved one, you can make a gift of cash, appreciated stock, real estate, mutual funds, retirement assets, and/or other tangible property and realize the benefit from a significant tax deduction.* Bequest: You can create a charitable legacy and reduce real estate taxes by making a gift to FCER in your will. It is also possible to name FCER as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or other insurance plan. Deferred Gift: Charitable gift annuities, remainder and lead trusts are examples of deferred gifts that provide you (or someone named by you) with a lifetime income stream and a gift to FCER upon the death of the income beneficiary. These gifts have several possible benefits:
FCER will work with you, your attorney, and/or other financial advisors to create the plan that is most appropriate for you. FCER encourages you to seek professional advice before making a large gift. A Lasting Endowment Your Heritage Society bequest will be invested carefully to produce additional income every year--a wise use of your gift. In other words, your eventual contribution to FCER's Permanent Endowment Fund will not be spent. The income earned by the fund will provide an ongoing source of revenue for chiropractic education and research virtually forever. Yes, your estate gift will continue to give, year after year, in your name. In addition to your years of practice and many other contributions to the profession, such a bequest will be the perfect culmination of a life--your life--dedicated to chiropractic health care.
