There are many ways to support JDRF’s efforts to find a cure for diabetes including making annual contributions, participating in walks and galas, and advocating for government funding of diabetes research. Some extend their commitment by naming JDRF as a beneficiary in their estate plans creating a legacy that ensures that research continues until a cure is found.
JDRF’s Planned Giving team would be delighted to help you to explore the following charitable opportunities:
A Bequest in a Will or Trust A Life-Income Gift A Gift of a Life Insurance Policy or Retirement Assets A Gift of Real Estate
