2A Legacy Society Planned Giving

Your Last Will and Testament is the ultimate statement of what matters most to you, the people you love and the values and principles you hold dear.

That is why many freedom-loving Americans choose to include National Association for Gun Rights in their estate planning.

In fact, it’s where most members of our 2A Legacy Society start!

This isn’t just a financial exercise and no bequest is too small. Every bequest is greatly and humbly appreciated.

And we are truly honored by those who choose to make an impact for freedom by joining our 2A Legacy Society as each and every one of these gifts is a testament to our members’ passion.

If you are ready to include National Association for Gun Rights in your will, there are three simple ways to do so with sample language below:

OPTION #1: Make a Simple Bequest of a Specific Amount

 “I give and bequeath to National Association for Gun Rights of 2300 W. Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO 80537 the sum of $_________, to be used as the organization determines.”

OPTION #2: Make a Certain Percentage Bequest of Your Estate

 “I give and bequeath to National Association for Gun Rights of 2300 W. Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO 80537 ___% of the total value of my estate to be used as the organization determines.”

OPTION #3: Make a Residual Bequest of the Remainder of Your Estate

“I give and bequeath to National Association for Gun Rights of 2300 W. Eisenhower Blvd, Loveland, CO 80537 the rest, residue, and remainder residual of my estate, to be used as the organization determines.”

Should you prefer to include National Foundation for Gun Rights in your will instead of the National Association for Gun Rights, simply replace the organization’s name in your text of your will.

Many people are surprised to learn that adding National Association for Gun Rights as a beneficiary to their IRA, other retirement account, or life insurance policy is even easier than amending their will.

It generally requires just your signature and the Association’s designation on a beneficiary form.

While we always advise discussing your options with your estate planner and/or accountant, leaving your IRA to non-profits like National Association for Gun Rights and reserving more tax-favorable assets for heirs could prove to be a wise way to join our 2A Legacy Society.

As a non-profit, National Association for Gun Rights does not pay Income Taxes when it sells your assets, so 100% of your gift will go directly to our programs to protect and defend the Second Amendment.

Likewise, some donors choose to make National Association for Gun Rights the beneficiary of paid-up life insurance policies that have outlived their original purpose.

Rather than giving cash contributions, many of our supporters prefer to directly transfer shares of appreciated stock in joining our 2A Legacy Society.

This is a smart strategy for donors who would owe a Capital Gains Tax upon sale of the shares.

Instead of selling the shares, paying Capital Gains Taxes which help fund anti-gun government entities like the ATF, and then using what is left of the proceeds to make contributions, simply give the shares directly to National Association for Gun Rights.

As non-profits, neither National Association for Gun Rights, nor National Foundation for Gun Rights pays Income or Capital Gains Taxes when it sells your shares.

This way, 100% of your stock gift will go directly to our programs to protect and defend the Second Amendment.

Should you choose to give it in this way, wiring instructions are available upon request.

We understand many of these options are deeply personal and must be made very carefully.

You are our partner in the battle to defend liberty, and the muscle that enables us to fight the good fight, everything you do is extremely valuable to us.

National Association for Gun Rights Executives and Directors would be happy to speak to you personally if you have any questions.

If you would like to schedule a confidential, personal briefing on National Association for Gun Rights’ major projects or receive a personal phone call, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Our staff frequently travel the country visiting personally with gun rights supporters and would love to talk to you.

If you would like to schedule a confidential, personal briefing on National Association for Gun Rights’ major projects — or even just schedule a time for a personal phone call — please email our Director of Development, Gary Miller, at gary.miller@gunrights.org or call him at (970) 833-5211.

We at National Association for Gun Rights are deeply humbled and greatly appreciative for your consideration in our 2A Legacy Giving program. Becoming a part of your legacy and the trust you place in us as a “No Compromise Defender of the Second Amendment” is not something we take lightly.

As mentioned earlier, everyone at National Association for Gun Rights understands that decisions about estate planning are immensely private to some people.

As with all donor communications, any information you do choose to share with us will always remain strictly confidential.

However, we would like the opportunity to honor and thank those patriots who choose to support us in this way.

If you do choose to include us in your 2A Legacy Society giving, please don’t hesitate to let us know!

But regardless of how you choose to handle these matters, you can rest easy knowing that your support is making an impact for the values and beliefs you hold dear.

And you have peace of mind knowing that your gifts — combined with the contributions of other pro-gun patriots around this country — will keep the flame of liberty burning in America for future generations.
