Planned Giving

What Is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is the process that allows you to make charitable gifts that provide maximum benefits to both you and a nonprofit organization. Planned gifts can be current or deferred, revocable (bequest) or irrevocable (charitable trust). Charitable gift planning techniques can provide you with substantial income or gift and estate tax benefits.

Your planned giving options can be as simple as a bequest in your will or the assigning of a beneficiary to your IRA or life insurance. More complex estate planning can include an income stream through a Pooled Income Fund or a Charitable Remainder Trust.

How Your Gift Helps Ananda

Giving to the Janaka Foundation is a wonderful way to include Ananda in your estate plan. A gift to Janaka can be designated for any aspect of Ananda’s work, be it a specific project within an individual colony, or an aspect of the Ananda Sangha, such as the Music Ministry which reaches across borders around the world. Or it can be an unspecified bequest that will be a legacy of your support for the goals and projects of Ananda’s future.

There are a number of ways donors can fulfill their charitable objectives that may also offer tax savings and other welcome benefits. We hope you will explore these various options with us as you consider making a gift to Janaka. We suggest you seek the advice of a competent tax advisor or attorney before making a final decision.

Why Not Simply Give to Ananda?

Over the years, Ananda has matured and grown to become a worldwide ministry of importance to thousands of devotees. Complementing that growth, the financial needs of the organization have also become increasingly complex. People began to ask about giving to Ananda through bequests, and other long-term vehicles, some of which require financial management.

In answer to that need, the Janaka Foundation was created as a special vehicle to assist the entire Ananda movement with the intricate process of planned giving. Our mission is not limited to a specific colony or aspect of the work and is, in fact, especially designed to help bring to fruition new and unexplored areas of development. Your generous contribution to the Janaka Foundation can provide the seed capital for projects that will benefit thousands of truthseekers for years to come.

We Invite You to Join Us!

Through the years, the generosity of many friends has been a critical factor in the strong growth and development of Ananda. Their gifts have helped us become a major center for sharing the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. Our benefactors make it possible for Janaka to bring Ananda’s important work into the world, where it is so sorely needed.
