Legacy donations are a memorable way to give to the Port Townsend Film Festival

Ways to Give

Explore this section to discover new ways to make a gift to PTFF that also considers your personal circumstances and the needs of your loved ones.

Bequests

One of the most popular and simplest ways to make a gift. When you remember PTFF in your will, you’ll continue supporting our mission and we’ll remember you with thanks and gratitude.

Beneficiary Designations

Continue supporting our work by naming us as a beneficiary of a portion of your retirement plan, life insurance, or insurance annuity assets. Do take the time now to ensure that your retirement plan, life insurance, and insurance annuity assets are distributed as you wish.

Charitable IRA Rollover

Under the extended charitable IRA legislation for 2012 and 2013, if you’re 70½ or older, you can make charitable gifts now to PTFF using funds from your individual retirement accounts (IRAs) without undesirable tax effects.

Charitable Remainder Trusts

In the right circumstances, this plan can increase your income, reduce your taxes, unlock appreciated investments, rid you of investment worries and ultimately provide very important support. You can design a trust that supports our mission and meets your unique needs.

Tribute and Planned Giving

If you have a family member or friend whose life has been touched by the films and educational opportunities we bring to the Olympic Peninsula, we hope you’ll consider making a gift to us in honor of that person. Providing a gift establishes a living tribute that allows you to:

  • Honor a loved one or yourself

  • Support our continuing effort

  • Receive personal financial benefits from your contribution

Endowed Gifts

Discover a powerful way to make a gift to us in your name or in the name of a loved one while realizing tax benefits for your kindness and generosity. When you establish an endowment, you make a gift to us that will last forever.

Charitable Lead Trusts

Make a donation now while reducing the tax burden for your heirs in the future. You can both provide an inheritance to loved ones and make a significant charitable gift through a charitable lead trust.
