Legacy Giving Options

Include the American Cancer Fund in a will or living trust

A bequest is the simplest way to create a legacy. Leave a residuary, percentage, or specific gift to support cancer education and family resources.

Name the American Cancer Fund as a beneficiary

Designate the American Cancer Fund on a retirement plan (IRA/401(k)), life insurance policy, or another financial account, often without changing a will or trust.

Consider additional planned giving opportunities

Depending on goals, DAF grants, appreciated stock, IRA QCDs, or charitable trusts may be appropriate. We’re happy to coordinate next steps with your advising team. For more information, please email atimm@americancancerfund.org.
