Planned Giving

The Sedona Community Center has been fulfilling this need for over 40 years with our five-day-a-week in-house lunches and Meals on Wheels food programs.  The Center needs not only to continue these crucial services but has also added our Breakfast/Weekend Club program to provide necessary food to residents throughout the weekend. None of these services is possible without your generous support.

Donations can be given in a variety of ways. We have the Arizona Tax Credit Program, General Donations, the Meals on Wheels Pet Project, participation in our yearly fundraisers, and Planned Giving programs. You may simply click on the general donate button (Donate Now) on this page, click on a particular designated button, or send us a check to support our overall programs and services.

We cannot thank you enough for your caring support.

A planned gift is a gift given by an individual who shares a portion of their assets or estate. Your estate is a combination of assets including money, real estate, stocks, bonds, art, automobiles, life insurance…anything owned by you that has monetary value.

A bequest is a gift made through a will. The four most common bequests are:

• Cash
• A percentage of an estate
• Residuary bequests (the value of an estate after all other beneficiaries have been provided for)
• Appreciated assets including stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.

By making the Sedona Community Center the beneficiary of your planned gift or bequest, you allow your resources to continue to work for you during your lifetime and help the Sedona Community Center continue to do its work of enhancing the lives of Sedona residents. You can give your planned gift while you are still alive or plan that it be given after your passing.

Your commitment to the Sedona Community Center includes the possibilities of planned giving through:

• Charitable contributions
• Wills and bequests
• Life insurance policies
• Appreciated Securities
• Real estate holdings
• Life insurance gifts

 Appreciated Securities are gifts including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. By transferring ownership of appreciated securities, donors are able to claim a charitable income tax deduction for its current full market value, but avoid incurring capital gains taxes that would be owed if the stock were sold.

Life Insurance. You can name the Sedona Community Center the beneficiary of all or part of the value of your life insurance policy.

Therefore, there are many ways to provide funding for the Sedona Community Center.

•  You can donate money for general operations
• You can donate money for a specific program like Meals on Wheels
• You can give to our small but growing endowment fund
• You can donate through the Arizona State Charitable Tax Credit program

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the staff, we express our gratitude for your continued support of the Sedona Community Center.
