Other ways to give
Estate Gift of Bequest
To start the donation process through a life insurance policy, the Donor should contact their life insurance company, a broker, or the Foundation office, which can recommend experienced brokers. The Donor will need to purchase a policy with the Association for Academic Surgery Foundation as the irrevocable beneficiary, and premium payments may be tax-deductible. It’s advisable for the Donor to update their will to reflect this designation and to send a copy of the policy to the Foundation office.
Honorarium Donation
When invited to speak, Donors can designate their honorarium to the AAS Foundation by emailing gina@aasfoundation.org. The Foundation will provide the necessary tax documents to the institution for processing. If every AAS Member contributes just one honorarium each year, it would significantly enhance funding for grants and awards at the Academic Surgical Congress.
Appreciated Stock Donation
There are various creative ways to support the AAS Foundation, including donating equity securities instead of cash. This option may offer significant tax benefits for the donor, but it is important to discuss the details and implications with a tax professional due to certain limitations and advantages.
Thank you for making a gift to ensure the advancement of surgical innovation and improved patient care.
If you have any questions, please contact the AAS Foundation Executive Director Gina Hardiman at (310) 437-1606 ext. 178 or via email at gina@aasfoundation.org.
