Bequests & Planned Gifts

Viewers who would like to make sizable contributions from their estate plans sometimes find that it makes sense to consider leaving a valuable coin collection, rare book, antique chair, or other work of art to Thirteen in their will. The estate gets a full tax deduction for the value of the asset contributed. We will, most likely, sell it and invest the proceeds in the endowment to support the programs you enjoy. While these kinds of assets could be contributed while you are living, your tax incentives are probably less than if you leave them to us via your estate plan.

Please contact us for more information on giving collectibles to Thirteen.
