Stock Donation
Did you know that when you donate appreciated stock, you may avoid the tax on the gain while deducting 100% of the value of the contribution? That makes stock gifting one of the most tax-advantaged ways to give. And when you donate stock, we get to keep the proceeds that would have gone to pay taxes – it’s a win-win for you and BCPP! Transfer your securities to BCPP by calling Charles Schwab at (800) 435-4000. Give them the following information: DTC # 0164, Code 40. Account Number: 7378-5610. Or you can initiate a stock gift from your brokerage through a secure portal in minutes at no cost to you through DonateStock.com
Estate & Planned Giving
Your estate gift leaves a lasting legacy by advancing BCPP’s mission to prevent breast cancer before it starts. By including BCPP in your will or trust, you ensure future generations are protected from harmful chemicals and can live in healthier environments.

With a planned gift to Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, you can combine your desire to support breast cancer prevention with your overall financial, tax and estate planning goals. Your planned gift gives you a special connection to BCPP and will help ensure that we can continue our work for years to come.
No matter how much you leave, you want to make sure it goes to the people and causes you care about. Here are a few options:
- Living trust and wills: You can leave a percentage of your estate, a fixed amount, or a residual bequest (the amount left after gifts to loved ones or charity have been made) to BCPP.
- Securities: A donation of appreciated stock, mutual funds, bonds, or other appreciated assets maximizes your charitable gift while minimizing the estate tax burden and eliminating capital gains tax.
- Real estate: Complete or partial gifts of real estate can provide significant resources to BCPP and the future of breast cancer, while reducing multiple tax liabilities.
- Retirement plans and life insurance: Naming BCPP as the beneficiary of your life insurance, 401(k), 403(b), IRA, or other retirement plan is a highly tax-efficient and powerful way to support our work to prevent breast cancer. Retirement plan assets left to an heir can be subject to taxes as high as 70%, yet a non-profit organization can receive retirement plan assets without tax. You also have the option of designating that a portion of your retirement benefits go to BCPP.
- Charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts can be highly effective vehicles for providing for yourself, your partner or other heirs, and the breast cancer community.
Already have an existing plan?
No problem. You can easily amend an existing estate plan to include BCPP. A few simple possibilities include:
- Add a gift to your existing plans: Instruct your lawyer to prepare a simple, inexpensive “Codicil” to your existing will or “Amendment” to your revocable trust, creating a bequest for BCPP. This can be a specific amount of money or a percentage of your estate.
- Change your retirement plan or life insurance designation: Designate BCPP as the remainder beneficiary of your retirement plan or insurance policy. All you have to do is change the beneficiary designation and send the form to your plan administrator or insurance company.
- Name a contingent beneficiary: Consider naming BCPP as contingent beneficiary of your retirement plans to receive your retirement plan benefits in the event that you outlive the primary beneficiary of your retirement plan.
Consult your attorney
It is highly recommended that you consult with your own tax or legal advisors prior to making a planned gift. We would be happy to speak to your representative, such as a lawyer or financial advisor.
