Leaving a legacy gift to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine is an impactful way to honor your commitment to lifestyle medicine, and make a difference in the future of health care. If you would like to make a legacy gift, you will need to have a will or life insurance policy established and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine named as one of your beneficiaries. You may also consider donating appreciated securities and mutual funds by electronic transfer. For more information please contact support@lifestylemedicine.org.
A legacy gift will also reduce your tax burden now and in the future. If you own stocks that have increased in value since their purchase, you can benefit by using them to make a charitable gift to the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. You can deduct the fair market value of the securities (held for at least one year and a day) and pay no capital gains tax.
