empty  Transcend $10,000 – Imagine! Employee Donation Program

Imagine! Employees "Transcend $10,000"

Congratulations and many thanks to Imagine! employees for already raising $10,117 for Imagine! consumers and services in FY2013 and for "Transcending $10,000" a whole quarter early! Gifts include payroll deductions, donations through Colorado Gives Day and the Imagine! Celebration, and individual checks and credit card payments.

The Imagine! Foundation's overall goal for FY2013 is a 10% increase in revenue, so, applying that to employee donations, we are setting a new goal of $11,500, which is a 10% increase over last year's $10,492. Any time is a great time to make a payroll deduction pledge. Even just $1 per paycheck adds up to $26 for the year! It's easy! Sign in to Ceridian Self-Service, go to Payroll & Tax, then Imagine! Donation Form. Your donation is fully tax deductible and can be designated to the Imagine! department of your choice or to "greatest needs." We are looking forward to having the help of all employees in providing monetary support for those we serve and in reaching our new goal! And many thanks to all those who have so generously contributed thus far!

Employees may also support Imagine! through a check, credit card payment, and iGive.com (sign up for free at iGive.com and shop as usual at many of your favorite online sites that will then donate a percentage of your purchase to Imagine!). Several employees have also made contributions in honor or in memory of a family member, friend, or consumer. All of these contributions count for the "Transcend $10,000" campaign.

  Bequests and Planned Giving


Bequests
Bequests are fully deductible from estate taxes for the amount of a cash bequest or the market value of other assets donated. The gift may consist of a share of the estate or it can be outright or in a trust. You can make a bequest for a designated purpose, or it can be unrestricted.

Trusts
A trust is a planned gift that can be designed to benefit both you and the Imagine! Foundation. Along with an immediate income tax charitable deduction, you can assure an income for yourself for life. After that, we are allowed to use the remaining funds for our programs and services. There are several types of trusts. To know which vehicle would be best for you, we recommend that you consult with appropriate legal and financial counsel.

Gifts of Real Estate, Life Insurance, and Endowed Funds
Gifts of real estate, life insurance, and endowed funds are accepted within the policies approved by the Imagine! Foundation's Board of Directors. Please contact Executive Director Susan LaHoda at 303-926-6443 for current information concerning these gifting vehicles.
