Upon death, retirement plans or IRA balances are included for estate and income taxes to your beneficiaries – often up to 85%. Funding a charitable bequest to Cleveland Metroparks with an IRA or retirement plan prevents the bequest from becoming a liability of your estate, and the gift is made with pre-tax dollars.
Cleveland Metroparks is available to assist you or your advisors, providing information about specific programs of personal interest to you.
