Planned Giving

Leave a Legacy of Care and Support

You have the power to create a lasting impact on the future of HIV prevention, care, and advocacy by including San Francisco AIDS Foundation in your will or trust.

Together, we can build a future where:

• Race is never a barrier to health and wellness,
• Substance use is met with compassion instead of stigma,
• HIV status does not determine quality of life, and
• New HIV transmissions are eliminated.

Planned giving offers a meaningful way to support this vision while aligning with your personal financial goals.

Ways to Create Your Legacy

• Include SFAF in your will or trust – A simple way to leave a lasting legacy.
• Establishing a charitable trust – Provides potential tax benefits while ensuring long-term support.
• Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) from your IRA – A tax-smart way for those 70½ and older to give.
• Charitable Gift Annuities (CGAs) funded by your IRA – If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a one-time, tax-free transfer of up to $50,000 from your IRA to establish a CGA that provides you with fixed lifetime income while supporting SFAF’s mission.
• Donating appreciated assets (such as stocks or real estate) – Maximize impact while reducing capital gains taxes.
• Naming SFAF as a Beneficiary of Your Life Insurance Policy or IRA – A straightforward way to support our mission without affecting your current financial situation. By designating SFAF as a beneficiary, you can:
  • Life Insurance Policy: Allocate a percentage or specific amount of your policy to SFAF, ensuring significant future support for our programs.
  • IRA or Retirement Plan: Naming SFAF as a beneficiary of your retirement account can be an effective way to make a future gift with a lasting impact.
    Our team is here to help you explore the best options to create a legacy that reflects your values.
