How to give

There are several ways to include the Sacramento Mandarins in your estate plans. We encourage you to consult your financial advisor or attorney to choose the method that’s right for you.

​

  • Bequests
    Name the Sacramento Mandarins as a beneficiary in your will or living trust. This allows you to specify a set amount, percentage, or remainder of your estate to be donated to the Mandarins.
     

  • Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs)
    A CRT allows you to receive income during your lifetime, with the remainder of the trust supporting the Mandarins after your passing.

​

  • Life Insurance
    By designating the Sacramento Mandarins as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you can make a significant gift with minimal impact on your current financial situation.

​

  • Retirement Assets
    Naming the Mandarins as a beneficiary of your IRA or 401(k) can help you avoid heavy taxes on these assets while making a substantial difference in the lives of young performers.
