Bequests: How to include Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. in my will. 

The Easiest Way to Leave a Lasting Gift to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. 

A bequest is as simple as it is powerful; with a few words in your will, you can bring hope to 
hundreds of kids in crisis far beyond your lifetime. Chances are, even after you 
have made adequate provisions for your family and friends, you can have a bigger impact 
than you ever thought possible - and you don't have to be wealthy to do it! Best of all, when 
you make a bequest, you will have the good feeling of having done something significant for 
Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. 

What You Need to Know 
If you are already prepared to name Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. in your will, you'll need a few 
simple facts about us: 

1. Legal Name and Address: Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable 
organization, located at PO Box 536944, Orlando, FL  32853-6944. 

2. Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. Federal Tax ID: 59-3666953

3. The gift can be declared in a number of ways. Here are some common ways to phrase your 
intentions: 

Percentage of Estate: 
I give to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc., currently of PO Box 536944, Orlando, FL  32853-6944, 
___% of my estate to be used in such a manner as the Board of Directors of Orlando Youth 
Alliance, Inc. shall, in its sole discretion, determines. 

Fixed Amount: 
I give to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc., currently of PO Box 536944, Orlando, FL  32853-6944, 
the sum of $____ to be used in such a manner as the Board of Directors of Orlando Youth 
Alliance, Inc. shall, in its sole discretion, determines. 

Specific Property: 
I give, devise, and bequeath to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc., located at PO Box 536944, 
Orlando, FL  32853-6944, description of property, located at (exact location). 

Residue of Estate (after probate costs and other expenses): 
I give to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc., currently of PO Box 536944, Orlando, FL  32853-6944, 
___% of the rest and residue of my estate to be used in such a manner as the Board of 
Directors of Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. shall, in its sole discretion, determines. 


Gifts of Stock 
It may sometimes be a greater advantage to give Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. appreciated 
securities rather than cash. An outright gift of appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund 
shares which you have owned one year or longer may be claimed as a charitable contribution 
up to an amount equal to 30% of your adjusted gross income. Any deduction not usable in 
the first year may be carried over for up to five additional years or until the deduction
is completed or used, whichever is first. By making a charitable donation, you avoid paying tax 
on the capital gains. 

Charitable Gift Annuities 
In exchange for an irrevocable transfer of assets, Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. agrees to pay 
one or two annuitants a fixed income for life, the amount determined by the age of the 
annuitant(s). A portion of the transfer is deductible and when cash is used to fund a gift 
annuity, a portion of the income is nontaxable for federal purposes. When using appreciated 
stock, the capital gains tax is not payable at once but is spread over the life expectancy
of the annuitant(s).  

Charitable Remainder Trusts 
Charitable Remainder Trusts are similar in concept to the annuity trusts. One key difference is 
that under the trust the payment amounts may vary from year to year. They are determined 
by multiplying the percentage stipulated in the trust agreement by the fair market value of 
the assets each year. Thus, the income may go up or down depending on the trust assets. 

Life Estate Contracts 
Some people choose to give their personal residence, farm or vacation home to Orlando 
Youth Alliance, Inc. Through a charitable life estate contract, you would deed the property to 
our organization now but would retain the right to live in the home or use the farm for the 
remainder of your lifetime. You would also continue to be responsible for the maintenance, 
upkeep, taxes, insurance, etc. By making this type of transfer, you would ensure that the 
property was quickly conveyed to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. at the time of your death. In 
addition you would be entitled to an income tax deduction in the year you deed the property 
to us. 

Charitable Lead Trusts 
Charitable Lead Trusts are established by a donor transferring assets to a trust that provides 
income to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. for a period of years. At the end of that period, the 
trust assets revert either to the donor (grantor) or to someone else the donor designates 
(non-grantor). 

Life Insurance Policies 
There are two primary types: Transfer of ownership of an existing policy to Orlando Youth 
Alliance, Inc. or purchase of a contract by the donor, in which Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. is 
named the beneficiary and/or owner. 

Gifts of Retirement Plans 
If you leave your IRA, Keough, 401(k) or other qualified retirement plans to your children, a 
combination of estate taxes, income taxes, and generation skipping taxes could shrink the 
bequest by as much as 70%. Instead, consider leaving retirement account assets to Orlando 
Youth Alliance, Inc., and preserve all the funds free from tax. You can leave your children cash 
and other assets that won't suffer the high taxes that retirement assets do. Or, you can 
provide for family members by leaving retirement assets to a charitable trust that will pay 
income to your loved ones. It is simple to make a gift of retirement assets to Orlando Youth 
Alliance, Inc. 

Beneficiary Change 
The custodian of your retirement plan can provide you with the appropriate forms to make 
Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. the beneficiary. The beneficiary designation form will ask that you 
list Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc.'s legal name, address, and tax identification number. This 
information is as follows: 

Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc.
PO Box 536944
Orlando, FL  32853-6944
Tax ID# 59-3666953 

Will or Living Trust 
If no death beneficiary is named for your account, you can change your will or living trust so 
that retirement assets are specifically designated to pass to Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. 

Contingent Beneficiary 
Consider making Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc. the contingent beneficiary of your retirement 
death plan benefits and give your heirs the right to disclaim (decline) benefits. Those who 
understand the severity of the taxes imposed can have the retirement assets pass to a 
worthwhile cause like Orlando Youth Alliance, Inc.
