A planned gift to RAND benefits you and your family and supports RAND's mission to improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis. By planning for your future, you strengthen RAND's ability to make a difference across a wide range of policy areas, including health, education, national security, international affairs, law and business, the environment, and more.
Planned Gifts
Planned gifts are gift arrangements that have specific tax advantages and often include lifetime income to a beneficiary named by the donor. Many RAND donors have utilized planned giving methods, enjoying such benefits as capital gains tax savings, increased income, and income-tax savings, while at the same time benefiting RAND through philanthropic support. A planned gift can maximize your giving potential and can even allow you to ensure your future financial security or that of a loved one. Find information on a wide variety of such gifts. Through the RAND Legacy Society, a bequest to RAND might afford the opportunity for you to make a larger gift than you ever thought possible.

Gift Pledges
A pledge is a formal statement of intention to make a gift to RAND. It may be followed by an immediate gift, or may simply confirm your intention to make a gift in the future. Many donors choose to complete their gift pledges by making regular payments over a specified period of time. Such a method often allows donors to make a more generous gift than they may have originally considered. Whenever possible, RAND encourages full payment of pledges within three to five years of the original commitment.

You may want to ask whether your employer participates in such a program, as well as to determine any restrictions that may apply to their matching gifts.
