We most gratefully accept several types of planned giving options, which may suit your needs better than writing a check right now.  We would love to speak with you about gifts of stock, gifts of real estate, charitable remainder uni-trusts, charitable remainder annuity trusts, etc.  These gifts help those in need of your assistance and these can mean tax relief for you and/or your family.

We would be pleased to provide you, your attorney, your accountant or your tax advisor with additional information and assistance.  You should contact your own professional tax advisor to learn how such gifts relate to your individual circumstances.  Please feel free to call our Director of Development, Lucy Lowenthal at 301-563-1545 ext. 320 or e-mail (development@secondgenesis.org) with any of your questions about planned giving to start planning today.
