CREATE YOUR LEGACY

You can create your own legacy by including Pioneer Library System Foundation in your will or estate plan.

CHARITABLE BEQUESTS

A charitable bequest is a great way to take care of yourself and your library. Working with your attorney or financial advisor, you can provide specific instructions in your will or living trust – usually just a few sentences. You can leave the Pioneer Library System Foundation a specific item, amount of money, or percentage of your estate.

LIFE INSURANCE AND RETIREMENT

You may also support the library by naming the Pioneer Library System Foundation as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account.

When naming the library as a beneficiary, please indicate the beneficiary name as:

Legal Name: Pioneer Library System Foundation
Mailing Address: PO Box 721738, Norman, OK  73072
Federal Tax ID: 01-0945757

TAX ADVANTAGES

Gifts payable to a charity upon a donor’s passing, such as a bequest, life insurance policy, or retirement account are exempt from estate tax. Additionally, donors contributing appreciated property, like securities or real estate, receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset and pay no capital gains tax on the transfer.

PIONEER SOCIETY

If you make a planned gift, you also receive membership into the Pioneer Society. For information on member benefits, click here.
