Make a gift that costs nothing
during your lifetime
Create a new endowment fund in your name or add to your existing fund. For most Weizmann Institute supporters, their largest gifts come from bequests or revocable living trusts, which are completely deductible for estate tax purposes. If you have a qualified retirement plan, use a beneficiary designation to pass it tax-free to Weizmann. It is smart tax planning to use the IRA as a charitable asset and give heirs other assets.
