a life insurance policy, gifts of real estate, or
the residual value of a retirement account such as an IRA or 401(k) plan

Anyone, regardless of net worth, can make a planned gift of any size. Planned gifts can financially benefit the donor in his or her lifetime through tax savings and support the HSO beyond a lifetime.
