The all-volunteer FRL is a not-for–profit 501 (c)(3), registered as a charitable organization in New York State. As such, all donations to the FRL are tax deductible in accordance with all regulations imposed by the IRS.
The Friends are especially grateful to library supporters and their families and friends who have designated the library as the recipient of memorial gifts. A gift to the library is a meaningful way to memorialize someone special to you.
If you would like to provide for the Rosendale Library’s future, a planned gift is an ideal way to leave a legacy that will help support the library and may provide tax benefits for your family. There are several easy ways to make a planned gift.
Unrestricted Bequest
Make a gift to the Rosendale Library in your will using this language:
I [name], of [city, state, zip], devise and bequeath to the Friends of the Rosendale Library [written amount or percentage of the estate] for its unrestricted use and purpose.
You can also provide that a residue, or a portion of the residue, be gifted to the library from what is left after all other gifts to loved ones have been fulfilled.
Retirement Plan
Proceeds from your existing retirement plan can be designated to be donated to the library at the time of your death by listing us as a beneficiary.
Life Insurance
The Rosendale Library can be named as a beneficiary or partial beneficiary of life insurance policies not needed for your family’s protection.
Questions related to planned giving are best directed to your financial advisor.
