In-Kind Donations

Donations of goods or services may also be tax deductible. In-kind donations include items for raffles, office equipment, software, use of facilities, etc. While appreciated, professional services (i.e. pro-bono financial consulting, are not considered tax-deductible). 

The Legacy Circle

The Legacy Circle recognizes those committed Shades of Pink Foundation donors who designate a charitable gift through a bequest or a planned gift to the Foundation. 

Wills and Living Trusts

By including a bequest to Shades of Pink Foundation in your will or living trust, you are ensuring that we can continue our mission for years to come. Your gift may be a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after all other provisions have been fulfilled. A charitable bequest also entitles your estate to an unlimited federal estate tax charitable deduction and costs you nothing during your lifetime.

Sample Bequest Language
“I hereby give, devise, and bequeath _________ and no/100 dollars ($DOLLARS) (or ____% of my estate) to Shades of Pink Foundation, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization located in Birmingham, Michigan, to be used for its general purposes.”

Beneficiary Designations

Name Shades of Pink Foundation as a beneficiary to receive assets such as retirement plans and life insurance policies after you're gone. Simply fill out a form with your plan administrator or agent. This is a very simple and flexible option that is entirely separate from your will and you aren't locked into the choices you make today. You can review and adjust beneficiary designations at any time.

Life-income Gifts

Gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts can provide donors with an income stream, significant tax savings, and the satisfaction of providing SOPF with vital long-term resources. The creation of a life-income gift benefits both the giver and the receiver—a "win-win" situation.

The information on SOPF's website is provided for educational and informational purposes only. You should seek advice from qualified advisors and experts in connection with any charitable giving to understand what options you have, how state and federal laws may apply to you, and whether charitable giving fits within your estate and charitable gift planning.

Shades of Pink Foundation depends on the generosity of private, public, and corporate donors to raise funds for program costs and operational expenses. Monetary donations, gifts-in-kind, and grants are accepted and appreciated.

Shades of Pink Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 20-3946913.
All donations are tax deductible in the amount they exceed the fair market value of any goods or services received.
