Through use of a charitable remainder trust, your IRA assets can provide life income to the beneficiary, and eventually a gift to the Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired. - Bequest
A frequently used method of support; a bequest is the inclusion of the Association for the Blind & Visually Impaired as a beneficiary in your will. - Life Income Gift

These funds, honoring the donor or designated honoree, provide income for ABVI and help offset the cost of services. It can be established with as little as $2,000 / year contribution for five years.
- Once established the investment income can be used to provide programming and services.
