Ways to Contribute
The simplest way to contribute to the Elk Grove Park District is through cash gifts to the Elk Grove Parks Foundation. Creative gifts of assets can also include stocks, bonds, real estate, and personal property.
Making Donations
Each Elk Grove Park District seasonal brochure contains a donation area on the registration page in the back of the brochure. You may also use the online registration system to make your donation. Your gift gives you the satisfaction of supporting work to preserve and enhance our parkland, natural resources, and historic sites. Depending on the arrangements you choose, you can also:
- Reduce your income taxes
- Avoid capital gains tax
- Retain payments for life
- Achieve no-cost, worry-free asset management
- Increase your disposable income
Contributions
Creative gifts of assets can also include stocks, bonds, real estate, and personal property.
Various forms of requests to the Elk Grove Parks Foundation can be used that will give your estate a charitable deduction and guarantee that your legacy lives on in our community’s park system. Life-income gifts, such as gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, and pooled income funds, can provide you with an income stream, significant tax savings, and the satisfaction of supplying our parks with vital long-term resources.
You may consider using retirement plan benefits to make a significant gift to Elk Grove Village parks through the Elk Grove Parks Foundation. The cost of your gift to your estate and heirs is often relatively small.
Two types of life insurance can be donated to the Elk Grove Parks Foundation for the benefit of our cherished parks: existing or paid-up whole and universal life insurance policies, and newly issued whole and universal life insurance policies.
