Legacy Giving - Supporting the Future.

 

  • Are you committed to improving outcomes for persons with disabilities and chronic conditions?

  • Have you seen the benefit of Rehabilitation Psychology (RP) on a family member, friend or client?

  • Do you want to help see our field flourish by supporting energetic emerging talent and nurturing research by the next generation of rehab psychologists?

Planned Gifts

A planned gift, like including FRP in a will or trust, or beneficiary designation on life insurance policy, is a donation that is planned in the present but distributed in the future. Such gifts are wholly revocable while you are alive and may save significant taxes* for your estate.

Below is sample language to use in your will or trust:

I give to Foundation for Rehabilitation Psychology, a New Jersey nonprofit corporation, EIN 20-2827073, c/o The Columbus Foundation, 1234 Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43205, [ XX %] of my estate or the sum of [$ XX] for its unrestricted use.

* Please consult with your financial, tax and/or legal advisor when making estate planning decisions.

IRA Distributions or Rollover Gifts

If you are 59 ½ or older, you may take a distribution from your IRA and then make a gift to the Foundation for Rehabilitation Psychology without penalty. If you itemize your deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the amount.

If you are 70 ½ or older, you may instruct your IRA plan administrator to make a direct transfer of up to $100,000 per year to the Foundation for Rehabilitation Psychology. Your plan administrator transfers the gift directly to FRP and, since you do not receive the funds, they are not included in your gross income. Your gift will count towards your required minimum distribution amount.

Appreciated Assets

Gifts of appreciated stocks, securities and mutual funds is a way to maximize your contribution and minimize capital gains taxes. By donating appreciated assets, you avoid capital gains taxes and essentially your gift will be approximately 20% higher than if you donated the cash proceeds from the sale of those assets.

FRP can help you with any of these giving options. For more information, please contact our Treasurer, John Corrigan, PhD, ABPP.

Legacy Giver Testimonials

 

Rehabilitation Psychology and Division 22 are my professional home. From my initial encounter as a trainee through my current mid-to-late career status, I have been welcomed, treated with respect, mentored, coached, and valued as a clinician and leader. I hope that my small contribution as a legacy donor will facilitate the growth and development of current and future Rehabilitation Psychologists as they follow their training and professional career paths. I am grateful to FRP for the opportunity to "pay it forward.”

Mary Brownsberger

Rehabilitation psychology has been the home of my professional life, and this work has provided for our family. When thinking long-term, of course, we wanted to provide for our children and grandchildren. We also wanted to give back to the field that has been so important in my career. We have been very blessed and wanted to share these blessings with our family and a mission close to heart.

Stephen Wegener

I have to lead a blessed professional life, one in which rehabilitation psychology welcomed me into its professional family over three decades ago (and they haven't kicked me out yet!) I became a legacy donor because I value the critical areas FRP supports, including preserving our foundational history, embracing the high-quality work so many rehabilitation psychologists are involved in today, and envisioning the future of our discipline by helping our students. I can make a slight difference through my contributions, and collectively we can make a significant difference towards achieving accurate equity for people with disabilities and chronic health issues. Rehabilitation psychology helps make a difference in someone's life every day. What could be more important than that?
