In 2008 the American Vascular Association launched the AVA Legacy Society, a planned giving program that is intended to create an avenue of opportunity for future support while offering members the benefits of deferred giving. Planned giving offers a unique opportunity to give back to the specialty, while providing members with the added benefit of both immediate and long-term fiscal advantages.

Making a planned gift is easier than ever, and will provide you and your family with several benefits such as:

• Reduce your income, capital gains (possibly avoiding), and/or estate taxes
• Increase current income for you and other family members
• Retain control of your assets now and reduce future estate taxes
• Have the peace of mind that you are protecting your family's financial security while helping fund a cause close to you
• Pass assets to family members at a reduced tax cost
• Make significant charitable gift to the AVA.

  There are several benefits to remembering the American Vascular Association in estate plans. With both immediate and long-term fiscal advantages, the AVA Legacy Society can offer creative and innovative ways of protecting assets.

  Please keep AVA in mind when preparing for your future. For more information on the planned giving program, please visit the website at www.VascularWeb.org/avalegacy.
