Join our Dream Makers Circle

Often the simplest and most significant way to make a charitable gift is to plan to give a legacy gift. It is easier than you think. You can plan to give all or part of a bank account, insurance proceeds, investment assets, real estate, or a retirement account. You can even give a required minimum distribution from your IRA directly to charity and avoid taxes on that money.

The National Federation of the Blind Legacy Society, our Dream Makers Circle, honors and recognizes the generosity and the vision of members and special friends of the National Federation of the Blind who have chosen to leave a legacy through a will or other planned giving option.

If you wish to give part or all of an account, simply fill out a P.O.D. (Payable On Death) or T.O.D. (Transfer On Death) form. For pensions and insurance assets, simply designate a charity as a beneficiary. If you would like to leave a legacy to the National Federation of the Blind in your will, simply include the following language:

“I give, devise, and bequeath unto the National Federation of the Blind, 200 East Wells at Jernigan Place, Baltimore, Maryland 21230, a Maryland nonprofit corporation, the sum of $______________ (or) _________ percent of my net estate” or “the following stocks and bonds: ____________________, to be used for its worthy purposes on behalf of blind persons.”

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Patti Chang at 410-659-9314, extension 2422. If you have included the National Federation of the Blind in your will or have made some other provision for a future gift to us and would like to tell us about it, please call Patti Chang.

Join our Dream Makers Circle to help turn dreams into reality for generations to come. With love, hope, and determination, we will make it happen.
