Some of the ways you can contribute to the future of the Ethical Society include:

  • Providing for an unrestricted or restricted charitable gift through your will or trust. Our legal name is "The Ethical Society of St. Louis." The Legacy Committee will be happy to provide you with a list of referrals for estate attorneys.
  • Naming the Ethical Society as a beneficiary of an IRA or life insurance policy. This procedure can be accomplished without an estate attorney.
  • Investing in an Ethical Society Charitable Gift Annuity. This vehicle provides a tax deduction in the first year and quarterly income for the life of the donor. It, too, can be accomplished without an estate attorney.
  • Transferring a remainder interest in a home, farm, or rental property while the donor maintains possession for life or an earlier designated time.
  • Making a current gift of cash, stock, life insurance policy, or other appreciated property. This can have a favorable tax effect for the donor.

Donors who notify the Legacy Committee of planned estate or lifetime gifts are recognized within the Ethical Society as "Legacy Friends."

Brochures that provide more detail on the Legacy Program and estate planning strategies are available at the Ethical Society office. Please stop by and pick up a brochure at your convenience. For additional information, prospective donors should contact the office.
