Please consider designating Building with Books as a beneficiary when you do estate planning. A planned gift will help BwB continue to fulfill its humanitarian mission in the U.S. and around the world for years to come. In addition, your generosity and dedication to empowering youth will help inspire others to make planned gifts to BwB.

Your planned gift can be made through:
• a bequest in your will
• an insurance policy
• an IRA or other retirement plan
• a charitable trust, annuity or pooled income fund
• a gift of real estate, securities or other assets

Planned gifts offer tax benefits such as a charitable tax deduction, a reduction in capital gains tax on appreciated property, securities and collectibles, and removal of assets from potential Federal estate tax.

Proceeds of planned gifts will be placed in BwB's "Fund Acting as Endowment."

Established by BwB's Board of Directors in 2000 and currently managed by GE Asset Management, the Fund will sustain the accomplishments achieved over the past fourteen years and ensure the longevity of BwB's domestic and international programs. The growth of this Fund depends on present and future gifts from people like you.
