There are three main types of bequests:
Percentage Bequests
A percentage bequest is a bequest of a certain percentage of your estate or of another asset.

Retirement Plans

Life Insurance
You can designate Climate Psychology Alliance - NA as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, which can provide charitable deductions for your estate.
Charitable Remainder Trust
A Charitable Remainder Unitrust is a charitable trust that pays a percentage of its principal to the donor and/or other income beneficiaries the donor names for life, for a term of 20 years, or for a combination of both. Climate Psychology Alliance - NA can be named as the sole beneficiary or in conjunction with others. Because it is revalued annually, payments may increase or decrease over time. The donor receives a charitable income tax deduction for a portion of the value of the assets placed in the trust at the onset. After the Charitable Remainder Unitrust terminates, the balance goes to Climate Psychology Alliance - NA.
Charitable Lead Trust
A Charitable Lead Trust is the reverse of a Charitable Remainder Trust. After a donor makes a gift, the Charitable Lead Trust pays income to the donor’s designated charity first, for a term of years or for the donor’s lifetime. After that, the trust assets are passed back to the donor or their designated beneficiaries.
