Planned Giving

Provide a financially secure future for you, your family, and NYSID

Planned giving is an outstanding opportunity to meet your charitable goals at a level you never thought possible.

•Establish a personal legacy
•Earn income and lower taxes
•Save taxes on transfers to heirs
•Ensure financial security
•Avoid the retirement plan tax trap

Planned gifts typically come from assets rather than income, and can be either outright or deferred. Types of gifts include:

•Bequests: Including the New York School of Interior Design in your will
•Charitable Trusts: Either remainder or lead, which may be funded with highly appreciated securities
•Special Gifts: Appreciated securities; insurance policies; retirement plan assets; real estate holdings; and other real property

Great news—extension of IRA charitable rollover included in Financial Rescue Bill. Take advantage of this renewed giving opportunity!

The 1916 Society

The 1916 Society recognizes donors who have made or intend to make a planned gift to NYSID. Members of The 1916 Society receive recognition in NYSID publications and at an exclusive annual event.

All gifts to NYSID are tax-deductible within the limits provided by law.

We highly recommend that you consult with your tax or legal advisor prior to making a planned gift. For more information about planned giving at NYSID, please contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at (212) 472-1500, ext. 430.
