Support The Henry Ford Through Non-Probate Assets

Ways to Give

IRA: Retirement assets are an easy and tax-smart way for you to make an impact for the next generation. Donors aged 70 ½ or older may make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) up to $108,000 to a charity from their individual retirement accounts (IRAs). These contributions may also qualify to meet one's required minimum distributions. Please contact us for more information on this tax-advantaged giving opportunity. For donors interested in making a QCD to The Henry Ford, we have provided a form to assist you in communicating directly with your retirement account holder.

Make The Henry Ford a Beneficiary: You may wish to make The Henry Ford the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or 401K as a way of making a larger contribution that is more affordable during your lifetime, while also benefiting from tax advantages. By naming The Henry Ford as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you can ensure that we will receive a significant donation upon your passing, without depleting your current assets. You may receive income tax deductions for premium payments made to the policy if you transfer ownership to The Henry Ford, creating a win-win situation. This strategy allows you to contribute to preserving The Henry Ford's mission while leaving a lasting legacy of support.
