There are many ways to help support the Redwood Library while planning for your future and that of your family.   By exploring different giving options with your financial advisor or lawyer, you may discover that you are able to accomplish more than you thought possible.

Since 1982, the amount of charitable giving through bequests has grown 6.2% per year in the United States.  More and more Americans are choosing to make bequests in their wills as a legacy of community support that will continue into future generations.  The giving of a bequest to Redwood Library may also provide the ability to diversify investment holdings, obtain an immediate income tax deduction (subject to certain limitations) and minimize or avoid adverse tax consequences.

Regardless of how you choose to structure your bequest, including the Redwood Library in your estate plans will allow you to become a member of the Charles Bird King Society as well as to play a vital and permanent role in the future of this historic institution.

For more information on becoming a member of the Charles Bird King Society, please contact Jan Gordon, Director of Development, at 401 847-0295 x 115.
