Planned Giving

A bequest in your will or trust is an easy way to provide for family while also helping to secure the future of the field. Gifts of any size will support our mission. You can begin the process of creating your legacy, free of charge, through the FreeWill* estate planning tools.

If you already have estate plans in place, here is some suggested verbiage to take to your attorney:

After fulfilling all other specific provisions, I give, devise and bequeath ___% of the remainder (or $___) of my estate to the ACOG Foundation, a charitable corporation (Tax ID #36-2217981) currently having offices at 409 12th Street SW, Washington, DC 20024.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

*The FreeWill resource is currently only available U.S. members.

Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve. If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the link above to notify us of your gift.

If you would like to donate marketable securities, please have your broker or custodian send the certificates "free and clear" through the DTC system to:

DTC ID #8862
Merrill Lynch Account: 5TL-02248
Account Name: ACOG Foundation

Either you or your custodian should contact Madeleine Scanio in the office of Winship Ross and Peter Dunne at the Merrill Institutional Consulting division of Merrill Lynch to notify her of a pending transfer. Please include the name and quantity of the securities. Her email is [email protected] and phone is 301-215-4418.

Making ACOG Foundation a beneficiary of your current IRA or retirement plan, life insurance, or commercial annuity offers more flexibility because beneficiaries can be changed as easy as one-two-three.**

1. Contact your plan administration, insurance company, bank or financial institution to request a change-of-beneficiary form
2. Complete the form by naming ACOG Foundation (use our legal name and Tax ID) as a beneficiary and list the percentage or specific dollar amount you want us to receive
3. Return the completed form to your plan administrator, insurance company, bank, or financial institution

You can also use this online tool to make your plans and designate the ACOG Foundation as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.
