Take Action

“The work of the Foundation results in saving lives in the developing world that would typically never even be at risk in the developed world. Touch convenes the public, private, and social sectors in ways that many charities cannot, helping direct the resources, expertise and will of all three toward the mission.”

Steve Lackey – Managing Producer/Editor Communications, McKinsey & Company, donor through McKinsey’s Gift of Hope campaign

Planned Giving:

  • Bequest: A bequest, including Touch Foundation in your trust or will, is the most common type of planned gift.
  • Retirement Plan or IRA: Another option for a planned gift is naming Touch Foundation as a beneficiary of your IRA or retirement plan. A pre-tax plan ensures that your gift will have the most impact.
  • Life Insurance Policy: Consider making a planned gift by making Touch Foundation, Inc. the beneficiary of your life insurance policy. You may be entitled to a tax benefit if you do this during your lifetime.
  • Charitable Gift Annuity or Charitable Remainder Trust: If you want to make a gift that will provide an income, you can do this with a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.
  • Stock Donation: Giving stock helps Touch and by taking advantage of applicable tax incentives, you can significantly increase the amount of funds available for charitable giving. Click here for our Stock Donation Form.
